It used a telescoping leg section that you’d pull out, then turn slightly to prevent it from collapsing. The problem was that it became rapidly difficult to open or close the legs when you wanted to, and they’d close when you didn’t want them to.

You never want a tripod to collapse with your camera on it, that could mean the end of an expensive camera, so it got the big garbage can.

I’d have hung onto it and complained to the manufacturer, but I didn’t want to haul it back to the US.

I just watched the show on G4 tech tv. Excellent presentation!

Could you please let me know the brand of the tripod that you bring with you during your travel?

Thanks in advance!
