When I was told in the past that a good well built tripod is a great investment in the long run and can actually improve my photography I laughed...I laughed in their stinking faces. Now I don't want to preach but please don't buy a cheap ass tripod that only cost £10 from Maplins because even though this wee thing has done me pretty well over the last 10 months even with its shakiness at the slightest breeze if I didn't catch the camera as it hurtled towards the ground when the head snapped off I would not be very happy right now. _________________ My Real Name: Pete Back to top HollowHorn Sausage supper Joined: 30 Jul 2007 Posts: 612 Location: Isle of Asda Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 6:42 pm    Post subject: Most tripods have a wee hook up between their legs (Ooo errr misus) just hang your rucksack from it, easy peasy. _________________ Flickr Pics Back to top LowLight Black Pudding supper Joined: 18 Aug 2008 Posts: 537 Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 6:47 pm    Post subject: If that thing even had a hook to hang a rucksack off of it would have collapsed, it's that bad. _________________ My Real Name: Pete Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         urbanglasgow.co.uk Forum Index -> Photography All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Forum stuff----------------Want to join?Forum IssuesArchived events The Urban Glasgow Collection----------------The Urban Glasgow CollectionThe Andrew Charles Paul Collection Glasgow Urban Exploration----------------Urban adventuresGlasgow from the pastGlasgow development or demolitionPhotography Glasgow Stuff----------------Something happening?Been somewhere good?Random rubbish Around the UK and Overseas----------------Wannabe Glasgow bitsThe Universe and beyond the infinite  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Card File  Gallery  Forum Archive Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2005 phpBB Group and a bunch of camp hockey players...
