Very cool!

90 lbs is allot to lift, espcially from ground level. However, it Is
compact:-)

Scott Baker takes his 18" mirror right out of his UC and puts it in a
separate case. That makes the weight very managable. Great idea if you
can do it carefully. I suspect that 22" UC owners will do the same.
