I'm taking more and more picture lately, mostly outside. Many houses ago I was given a reasonable tripod as a gift. Needless to say It's been lost. Taking photographs in the outdoors environment, can anyone suggest a small, easily pack awayable tripod/clamp? I keep looking at those ones where the joints are balls and they seem to wrap round things. Either that or my friend has a fishing 'bank stick' with a camera attachment on the top, which he uses as a walking stick too.
What would you do?
