Re: Lightweight tripod advice
Actually I have three! (two small ones which are ideal for compact cameras plus the Zoom) You're right, they do slacken-up in use, but my major issues with the 'pods are their limited base, meaning that if you can't physically attach it to something it tends to topple over, and the lack of rigidity allowing the camera to shake, especially in windy conditions. I also find that even when wrapped around something there still tends to be some movement.
Don't get me wrong, they're clever and have a place in my bag, it's just that for long-lenses I think they're woefully inadequate, and that there are better alternatives for similar cost and at a similar weight available.
