Resting the pole on top of the tripod is just a little more tricky. I can imagine how to do it easily, but it does add a degree of potential instability.
I believe only Samsara has done it.
The origin of this basic idea was to make a simple portable stand, and this is pretty much it. Now with the longer poles being used, I don't really see the need for putting the pole on top of the stand. Hanging it is just so stable and easy and I don't have any 13' tarps anyway...
But I'm up for more innovation!
Go for it Petez!
