February 13, 200917 yr Finally, my new tripod came in. I thought I'd share my feelings of exuberance.
February 13, 200917 yr Author UPS FTW! Yeah, I'm doing my part to give you work to do Sixty...I've made like 8 orders in the last month or so, gonna make another next week.
February 13, 200917 yr Author I ended up spending more than I had originally planned, but it was so worth it. Calumet 7300 Tripod It's built very solid and most of it is made of metal, and not crappy plastic. It's got some heft to it, which I like. Even fully extended it is nice and stable, and half of the center shaft can be removed to allow the tripod to sit low to the ground (10.8 inches), yet at full extension is 67.5 inches tall. I bought it for those reasons but also because it was the least expensive way to get a tripod with a 3-way pan head...which is pretty nice, but it's actually removable so I can put a different one on if I felt like investing in a more expensive head. I'm very happy...can't wait to use it tomorrow.
February 13, 200917 yr UPS rocks...I was tracking a package online last week, and saw it had gone on the truck that morning at 5:17am, was out for delivery...2 minutes after I checked it, the truck pulled up outside.
February 13, 200917 yr Author I think UPS has really stepped up its game. It used to suck only a few years ago, but they've gotten a lot better.
