Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. I purchased a Mefoto A2350Q2T. Now the test comes when I try it.

Mostly wildlife and going to use a remote shutter release.

Like to keep it under $250.00

I have a Canon 7D. With my heaviest lense on the camera I have a total weight of about 7 lbs. Going to start traveling a lot and using a tripod and I need one that will fold down to at least 25 inches and is fairly light. However, I want it to be sturdy enough that it won't be blowing over in normal wind(almost impossible in Oklahoma). Thanks for everyone's input.

I shoot with VC on all the time. I shoot my grandkids soccer, basketball, and baseball games and the 18-270 does fine.

Not the best pictures, but the best I got.

I am using Corel Paintshop Pro X6 and trying to post pictures to Facebook. Somehow my wife's Facebook page became my default and everytime I post something her picture comes up and it says it comes from her. How do I change it so I will be the one listed. She also wants me to remove her picture from there.

Thanks to everyone. Have tried everything. Contacted Adobe Forum but haven't heard anything yet. My wife tried to install it on her computer but still wouldn't do anything. Probably get a different software. Haven't been too happy since they stopped letting you put new contacts in the Contact Book. Thanks again.

The PSE 10 is uninstalled. With disc 1 in the computer it still won't recognize it or do anything. I had my wife try it in her computer and it still doesn't do anything. I have contacted Adobe's forum but no answer yet. Probably try another software. Wasn't too happy when they stopped letting you put new contacts in your contact book.

Thank you for all your help. Hate to keep bugging you. Was finally able to get the PSE 10 off the computer. However, when I insert the PSE 10 disc 1 in the computer, it opens Picasa and shows the installer like a picture that is not clickable. I have tried looking for a .exe or an installer file and have had no luck. Appreciate any more help.

When you click on the Edit you get "Runtime Error. This application has requested Runtime to terminate it in an usual way. You click to close that and then a screen comes up saying, "Adobe PSE 10 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." You have to close in order to get out of the program. I have the disc in order to reinstall PSE 10 but it won't let me till I deinstall the current one. In order to do that I have to go to Editor in order to deinstall the current serial number. I can not find any place to get to "Editor".

I have a shortcut to PSE Elements 10, however when I open it, there are only two options. One is organizer and the other is edit. I have always used organizer to do my editing. How do I get to the Editor?

When I open my PSE Elements 10, I have either organize or edit. If I choose organize the HELP does not have a deactivate. If I choose edit, it will not open.

I am still having trouble with my PSE 10. I have tried to install it again over the one that is on the computer now and it didn't work. How do I deactivate the serial number to the one that is on the computer now. Then I can start fresh and install the program again.

I finally found my disc. Going to try downloading it again. Thanks for everyones help.
