Getting the plate out (safely)

Two. Interesting. And how do you use them - one for the front of the plate 
with two attachments near either side (bass & treble) and the other 
chainfall for one attachment to the plate rear? Do you find it cumbersome at 
all to have to fumble with two chains to raise/lower the plate? Do you lift 
one a little and then the other and keep going back and forth - or can you 
reach both - one arm on each one? How far do you have them apart? I can 
imagine that your system would do a pretty darn good job of keeping the 
plate from doing 360-rotations! I don't find plate rotation to be 
problematic with one chainfall, but I can sure see that the more stable the 
darn thing is, the better.

When does the video come out? I'd watch it!
