Loc: Aquitaine
I first came across this site when I was looking for someone else who remembered the 'chain-pod' or 'string pod' idea: a screw in the tripod socket, trailing a piece of chain or string. The idea is that you stand on the trailing end and pull up gently on the string. It's never worked for me (and I'm not alone) but it works for many people.
Anyway, having found it, I decided to come back. Nice people, and (by the standards of the internet) a high degree of civility. My own background is that I took up photography in 1966; first worked professionally (in advertising) in the mid-70s; and have been a freelance writer and photographer for about 30 years. For the last 9 years or so I've lived in rural France, but I've also lived in Britain, California, Malta and Bermuda.
Cheers,
R.

I remember seeing that home made string pod on one of these threads, he even posted a picture of it. You really do get around! Welcome to UHH.
