Last week I bought a new tripod. If either of you care about specifics, it’s an Induro CT214 coupled with a BHD-2 ballhead.

One of the nice things about having a ballhead is the ability to aim the camera at zenith.

Or nadir if the center column is inverted.

The legs have stops at three angles, so the legs can be splayed out wider is necessary.

They’re almost perpendicular to the center column when opened all the way.

And it comes with a case suitable for hanging on trees.
This thing embarrasses itself against my DOLICA AX620B100.
I’ll admit that’s a pretty impressive set of features for under $50, but it can’t support the weight of a mid-size dog. I guess I failed to mention that I’m a dog groomer on the side, and I’m going to use my new Induro setup as legs for my portable grooming table. I figure with the ballhead I can just tilt and spin the dog instead on having to bend and stretch around him.
Oh, in that case, let me apologize.
