I couldn't decide whether to spend a few pennies on a camera magazine sub or a tripod but I went for the tripod because hopefully then it will come in useful when we got and take the photos of the leopards! It's great though, does everything and more, is light, goes about 2metres tall, has spirit levels and everything and it was only 13pounds!It's funny that this picture is blurry but I obviously couldn't use the tripod to take a photo at the time!
