    Curses, foiled again. I did not get the tripod for Xmas. I did get a paper white 2 and a jump starter. S the tripod goes on my birthday list for later this year. I think my wife sees that I've got a tripod that stands and thinks its good enough. I did have the tripod number 2 on my list behind...

    I should point out its only on my Xmas list. I've got a kindle paper white on the list. Don't know if I'll get both. If not for Xmas, it'll be in my birthday list. I will let you know the results. BTW, I did look at some YouTube videos of the tripod too.

    I was thinking of putting a tripod on my xmas list this year. I noticed one on Amazon that included a head and had an extra one included as a mail-in promotion. Unfortunately I didn't put it on my wish list, can't find it in my browsing history, and can't find it again over on Amazon. I don't...
