Well, not to be bitchy, but I'l like to see you using a tripod in the raight 
hand seat of an airplane that is in flight following a "tanker" for icing 
testing, or inside a test fuselage shooting damage.

The man who made the purchasing decisions was an idiot. A 6 or 7 would have 
done a better job for most of what we did.
