Ghetto Tripod!!!

What do you do when your tripod head breaks and you are suddenly faced with numerous nights of spectacular Thunder & Lightning storms just outside your window.... You improvise and this is the result.... Just thought I would share with everyone... :banana:

NOTE: I have a new tripod on the way, thanks to Shanna...

Ahhhh the duct taped double tiered insulated table top tripod. I had one like it in college - but it broke when I stocked it with brewskis. :rofl: :judge:

WOW. A tripod with a built-in beer cooler. Better get the patent before Manfrotto or Gitzo "steals" it. :dry: :cheers:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Call it the one and only "Cinco-pod" and try selling it on eBay. I bet you get many offers.

Glad I got my new Tripod from Shanna and didn't have to lug this with me last night to photograph the Tribute in Lights. That would have been interesting....
