P3D tripods (digest 3655)

[CanterMike@xxxxxxx]

I previously quoted George's post to digest 3655 (alright, I'm a little 
behind!):

<<  You will also need a tripod to support the slide bar.  You can
find a cheap one (you only need a cheap lightweight one) for
less than $10.  >>


I must flat out disagree with this.  Cheap lightweight tripods only 
contribute to false sense of security, and are a waste of your time and 
money.  Its much better to save up for a little while & buy a substantial 
tripod that can last your (photographic) lifetime, than a series of 
decreasingly inferior tripods.

In my experience, there is no such thing as a "Too Big" tripod, or a "Too 
Powerful" flash.

ps. i think cheap lightweight tripods are actually banned by state law here 
in maryland.
