And it seems to work better. 

I do have an old adjustable photographic light stand.  I think I will mount it upside down over the table saw and use it to raise and lower a blade guard with dust extraction.  

I replaced that stand with sturdier versions so it is not being used.  I will let you know how it works out.

I would remove the tripod section entirely, and mount it upside down from the ceiling joist just above the blade.  It adjusts from about 2 feet in length to six feet.  So I could lift it up out of the way and then lower it as required.  I will have to fabricate a guard from plexiglass and add a hose for extraction but it does not sound too difficult.

I built this parallelogram overhead dust collection device about 10 years ago:

A few months later I added DC to it and a spring to make it neutral balanced:

Shark Guard probably sells some cantilevered arm for their guard, either side or ceiling mount, or maybe both.
