I have nothing at all against aardvards. Saw plenty while in TX, OK, and other otherworldly places I've lived. Flowering red cactusssses, on the other hand, are rife around here. And as you very well know, they are NOT cuddly.
What is this 'tripod' thing of which you speak? Does it have something to do with aardvarks?
I don't know. It's a pretty cumbersome thing. But I've read a few impassioned pleas from some of the UHH crowd that you should have one if you want to call yourself a photographer. And what's more, it should be carbon fiber and it should cost at least 5 times what your best camera and lens cost. They are supposed to have 3 legs, I think. At least I inferred that from the "TRI" part. Mine has eight, I'm still not sure how that happened. But there you go, that's what happens when you order something in good faith, sight un-seen.
But you bring up a good question. If I start looking at it from the perspective of possibly having something to do with aardvarks...
