I bought a catcher on http://brasscatcher.systems/ a few years ago. It comes with telescoping poles, all out off an ammo can.
The idea is neat, but the telescoping antennas (they actually are antennas) are mounted very flimsy. The latches bend each time you work with it, just a matter of time before it will break.
Setup takes me a bit each time because by the time I'm hooking up the last corner the net moved off another, or the antennas twisted. Also, the entire thing is very wind sensitive. They offer am optional bracket to secure the can to a table but that doesn't work at my local ranges. Another option would be to keep (a lot of) weight in the can.
All that being said, my product arrived half finished (can was sanded, VERY dirty and not painted), and the customer service was unresponsive and slow (much like the shipping). When I complained about the half finished product I was offered this optional wind bracket but they never sent it. Go figure.
I think I'll build my own soon. Something that is stable and quality.
Here a photo of my typical setup:
