I’ll make the most of what was a double post!
By the way, so I don’t stray off topic, I would agree that a $400-$800 budget is needed for a good tripod, though for some instances, I still use my crappy "$99 Special". It’s great for shots where the camera doesn’t need any pan or tilt, and it’s not at risk to be bumped or otherwise touched. Basically, I stick it up on balconies at weddings 😛
I’ll have to try that beanbag thing. Does B&H carry fulid-head lazy susans?
