My previous tripod was £2 from a car boot sale

I couldn't be happier with it. I bought the tripod and head for £151.95 (inc delivery) from cliftoncameras.co.uk - cheapest on tinternet for these models (apart from fotosense, but I wouldn't trust them at all) - Jessops do the two for around £180 if you want a well known shop, but clifton had the thing at my door within 2 days of ordering...champion! The tripod is the 190XPROB and the head is the 804RC2. Legs are dead sturdy, quick to set up, got a couple of foam pads on 2 legs so winter carrying is comfy, the center column slides up then you can put it at a right angle, the legs have 3 choices for how far apart the go so you can give it a good, wide stance if you are worried about it falling over. Good secure quick release plate and a couple of spirit levels - what more could you ask??? Pretty light and compact when folded down and it stands about 6.5 feet tall full extended. Compared to my previous rickety piece of crap, this is the dogs!

This and a couple of filters...just waiting for the rain to stop so I can go out and play with them!

Right handed...right grip! But I think geet fat blokes use neither...they have to put both hands flat on the wall in front of them. At least that's what they seem to do when I come across their kind in a pub bog, taking up the whole piss wall.

Does anyone understand that badly dubbed foot odor advert where they mime along with "The feet...the shoes...the feet...the shoes!" but the camera seems to swith between the feet...the nose....the feet...the nose??? Does my napper in!
