| Tripod For Hiking I love taking pictures when I am out hiking but there are a lot of times when I need to use a tripod, problem is mine is very heavy. Does anyone have any recommendations for a lightweight and sturdy one that the height is not tiny? |

| Well I am honestly not familiar with tripods, but some searching on amazon I came up with this one. It is two pounds and can go up to 39 inches tall. Amazon.com: Sony VCT-R100 Lightweight Compact Tripod with 3-Way Pan/Tilt Head: Electronics |

| are you just using it to stabilize your shots or are you planning on using it for self shots? If stabilization is all you need it for, why not use a walking stick? Drill a shallow hole in the top of a wooden walking stick and screw in a threaded rod (1/4" is probably the rigt size) Leave a little sticking up and attach your camera to that when you need to keep it stable. If you really need a full tripod, get one of the cheap ones from Wal-Mart or a camera store. since they're flimsy, they are fairly light. |
