I hate to break this to you, but zooming it round sans stand really isn't a
possibility - it doesn't lift off the stand! That would be another of the
few disappointments, the stand is rather firmly pegged to the internal
frame, indeed adds some structural integrity to it. In fact, the two stands
are not connected to one another, except by the frame that is.
On the other hand, the plates actually hold quite firm, I must admit to
being sceptical at first, but I summed up the courage to give it a shake and
they all held firm. Well, except one of the bottom plates, but that was
because one of the magnets was slightly out of line (you know the way
sometimes magnets aren't properly centred in the plastic holder?) A quick
reshuffle of the magnets solved that problem.
As for the connecton in the trench, it's three of the 2x2 connectors with
the double hole in the bottom (Peeron number 2817) They seem to hold it on
satisfactorily, although I must admit I'm surprised myself, for the
underside plates at least.
