Simple Box Holder For Solar Concentrators

This is a simple method to hold and make adjustable, as the sun moves, any solar concentrator.

Here is the solar collector I got the idea from, its a large hotdog cooker, but can be used for heating a pipe, etc. I have seen some photos of telescopes with a similar method of adjustable stand: http://www.iwilltry.org/b/projects/build-a-solar-hot-dog-cooker/

In the video, the box could have been smaller than the collector shown. Of course, your collector/concentrator would have to be designed somewhat to fit into a holder, whether box shapped or some stand with notches or bolts with nut/wingnut tightners/clamps.
