This might be common for some of you out there in photo land, but today I received our new lab tripod (for our high speed video camera)... and it's HUGE!!! Our camera is pretty heavy and we do almost entirely macro, so I needed geared everything. I found this sweet set of legs w/geared column at BH used for only $200! and the 475 geared head for another $100, used again. What a sweet setup this is. Can't wait to misappropriate it for some "government work"...
:wink

Sorry for the bad images, my labmate has an unsteady hand and caught me with some lousy expressions too :wxwax. You get the idea though!

    in that second shot, it looks as if the tripod may have some "alternate" uses....

    uh...doc. I think andy might have been referring to carnal activities involving things like ballgags, leather thongs, and safety pins. Remember...he's a newyawka.

    and as a new yawka, we use rusty pipes, asphalt shingles, and pieces of chain link fence.
