Point taken. I have one of those other three-legged supports. It's a
Bogen, it weighs enough to stand up in a hurricane, and I've got a bad back.
At my age, and having had back surgery, I'd pay for a strong, *light*,
tripod. Aren't we fortunate that there's something out there for each of
us.
I may even have a better idea (for me). I've got an old Leitz table top
tripod that I use as a chestpod. (Others make them, too.) It works. Maybe
I've said this before. If so, bear with the ole guy. But, I repeat, it
works. It frees you from those three stakes in the ground and restores that
handheld element.
