Dwight, i made one like the team pumpkin one. Easy to use. Can do it yourself, but two people makes it alot easier & quicker.
I lifted with a 1 ton chain hoist.

yes, just have to either take that into account( the pumpkin when free of the ground, will swing. or prop up the low leg !

I have used this basic set-up and it works out great. Mine is slightly modified so a 16ft tall tripod can fit in a little Honda Civic with no obvious signs from the outside. It is kind of like a "sleeper Tripod" set-up;-)

Add three drops of water and stand back;-)...

Some additional hands do not hurt..
