Tripod

Shhh, I shouldn't really know this, but I'm getting a tripod for Christmas.

I can't help but know, because I selected and purchased it, but it's really a present from S to me.

I'm getting the Slik U9000, which seems like a nice middle of the road sort of tripod - not a professional Bogen, but something that should stretch my abilities and help me get better with my photography. Of course it will be meet my needs if I get a DSLR someday - maybe this one (Wake up Michael - as if!) I do already have a telescopic tripod, which has been great, but I've outgrown that - so I'll put that one aside for travel.

Along the way I found a nice series of articles on tripods, and some reviews of the U9000 (as well as a better description).
