For those contemplating getting a superzoom, this is how far out you can reach - and this was not good atmospheric conditions, but with a tripod and the 2-second timer for a remote, you can make the man in the moon look pretty sharp !
When I first started with a SLR and was taught the proper way to take important shots properly with use of a tripod it was instilled into my mind the necessity of NOT touching the camera at shutter click time - use of the in camera and self time as well as cable release sure is non replaceable.

For these very light Digital Bridge cameras - Walmart has a great tripod - quick release head - 2 level bubbles - landscape/portrate head and a hook on the bottom of the riser shaft to hang extra weight when needed all you could want on a light tripod

Nice pictures which camera did you use
It's a Canon SX30. I'm such a beginner that I haven't used all it's capabilities, yet. The next project is smoke pictures.

I just close the legs for mono pod use - still gives me the full advantage of the multiple positioning head - the carry handle is a good feature also.[quote=Ugly Jake]

I was wondering if one ask if they 'Zip Tied" the legs onto a mono pod position if that wold be OK.
Maybe, but most docents are young kids working cheap, and they have no authority - if you can catch a manager you might, but if it's a liability issue, rather than space, they probably won't. I'm pleasantly surprised at how many places (In Boston, MA) will allow pics at all.
Walmart has a tripod that allows the center riser to be removed to make a monopod. One unit, and when going where tripod is not allowed or too bulky, just slip the mono part out!
