Next on the list of purchases that are necessary to support this experiment is a good tripod. A tripod that will allow for horizontal traversing of the camera, a tripod that will get down low, and one that can potentially travel light. Without breaking the bank, I've come across two good candidates. The Benbo Trekker or Classic Models seem to be perfectly suited for these requirements, however have received some level of criticism in regards to the legs being controlled by a central locking mechanism. The other tripod that is in top contention is the Manfrotto 055. I'm leaning more towards the Manfrotto, since it accomplishes everything the Benbo does, without the flailing leg issues. If you have any experience with either model, or would like to share your opinion, drop me a note.
