10 minutes? You moved one freeway onramp closer? *;o)* I'm a little miffed because the tripod suffered a minor hardware failure. They use long, peened rivets instead of bolts for the articulated brace arms on the center post, and the peened flat on the end of one popped-off. The whole tripod leg could have slid-out and bashed the whole works to the concrete, but I noticed it in time. I could send the whole thing back, but I'm just going to replace ALL 3 of them with a #4 bolt and Nylock nut. On Sat, Jun 27, 2009 at 3:17 AM, jim Gibson <jimgibson0@gmail.com> wrote:
Chuck, Sounds like you are having too much fun. I live about 10mins closer to you now. When I get those roller bearings I will have to bring them over so I can check out your setup.
