When I was a kid, I knew a three-legged dog named Tripod. This post is not about him (although, if I ever adopt a a 3-legged dog I will certainly use the name, myself).No, this is about a rather affordable camera tripod I picked up, today.
I was shopping at Ross, today, when I happened to see a small spotting scope for $6.99. I was first attracted, and amused, by the wording on the package: European Design...American Attitude...Made in China. Very international!
Then, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the scope mounted onto a small plastic tripod by means of a thumb screw. That thumb screw looked very much like the camera mount screws on photo tripods.
So, I bought it, and took it home. I figured that, even if it didn't work with my camera, I would still end up with a cool little scope.
As you can see from the picture, the camera mounted right up. Now, I have a tripod to steady the camera when I am taking close-up pictures of small items, or timed shots.
Not bad for $6.99 (and I still have the scope, too).

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.
Anonymous comments are still gladly accepted.
So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
