Wee update. Despite parcelforce attempting to bluff me with a spurious delivery date, my Octbox arrived today. My initial view was a great piece of engineering. I thought it was supposed to come built, so was surprised about the number of bits. However enjoyed assembling it. I got it all together but an unscheduled visit by the latest granddaughter held me back! Anyway, back too the box, I am really tempted to stick all the Preston extras on it and make it too heavy. So I decided to really think through what I’m going to attach, work for this weekend. The wife thinks I’ve lost the plot sitting on the box in the garage pretending to fish. I’ve got the height set and gone knobless. Further update to follow, only negative so far is with the swivel tray that is opposite to what is advertised and the tray swings around on the wrong side, I think!
