Hi Chocachoc! Have you tested out your new tripod yet? It sounds really cool. I have a tripod, but didn't realize until after I got it that it can't do some things that I wish it could - like angle/tilt left or right to get vertical shots...only angles forward or back. I guess I could put the camera on sideways and tilt it forward to get a vertical shot...didn't think about that until now. lol!
