Tripod trouble

I was a bit surprised that Project 4 in issue 42 didn’t mention what has become a number one tip for me, which is to get a tripod that is matched to the height of the shooter. One long day of bending over to look through the view finder and your back will thank you.

Richard C Griffin, via email You’re quite right, Richard, not all tripods extend to eye height, and it’s important to get one that does. Our big test of sturdy tripods (page 98) is a good place to start!
