Tripods

TRIPODS

One thing that was highly expressed by each of the Speakers at MAPSYM was to use a TRIPOD regardless of the type.  The pictures will be sharper.  Don’t buy a cheap one like at Walmart and think its going to work--it won’t.   Get a decent one--a sturdy one.  One with strong legs--it don’t have to be heavy (you can hang your bag on it) but it needs to be sturdy.  Don’t complain if the wind moves it—you get what you pay for.  This could be a onetime investment and that’s what it is just like your lens.  Mine is now 17 years old and works great.  Yes mine is heavy (they didn’t make lightweight back then); but, hey!  I’m building muscles. 

Its a great day in the Wilderness!  I hope you can get out and enjoy it.
