>Is it a good tripod? ... ]'-) The tripod was a gift from my father. Knowing my father and knowing me, I can infer 3 things about the tripod: 1. The tripod can probably survive a nuclear blast, seeing as I hadn't managed to break it before it disappeared. I am the ultimate test for all things electronic or with moving parts. 2. The tripod has all the useful features you'd need, but probably nothing "frilly" or unnecessary. 3. The tripod was purchased at a reasonable price and will hold its value well. I don't know, do you think it's worth your life? rg2 On 9/6/07, Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's quite true.
