others experience that a very small percentage of shots taken in this

type of primitave slide bar to insure a high probability of success.
Just a piece of wood on a tripod would suffice, or a railing, any level
surface.

Actually, George, I didn't write what you quote.  Unfortunately, due to
a problem with my ISP while I was composing a response to Peter David's
message, my connection was broken and the contents of my edit buffer
were sent.  So I ended up unintentionally mostly reposting Peter's
message without any added content.

In the actual, fully-composed reply, I said that I disagreed with Peter
about cha-cha's, and recommended taping together a pair of single-use
cameras on a ruler as the easiest, cheapest entry to stereo.  So you see
we are actually in complete agreement.
