    You could always improvise in many ways, tripods are great but can be a PITA to carry around.

    Think I cant upload more that 2 vids per post so its a link

    There is a video with a piece of string with 2 loops for round your feet threaded through a hoop that screws into your tripod thread, can t find it though its on there great tip.

    ^ Jimmy - check your plants every day for Hawk Moth larvae! They can devour a large plant in a few hours. The larvae are very clever at hiding on the underside of the leaves along the spine. The ones on my Desert Rose were light to dark green. It was stripped overnight of 50% of its leaves. But it recovered.

    I'm not normally an aggressive person, but I took great pleasure in slicing those b@stards into lots of little pieces using pruning shears. biggrin.png

    Of course, the first time I saw the moth I had no idea what this beautiful creature was doing on my cactus. Only days after did I see the results of the ravenous larvae.

    The way to tell if you're infested is to check on the ground underneath the leaves - if there are a lot of small round balls of poo on the ground, then you've got problems!

    Here are some pictures I took of the moth, the larvae and the Desert Rose.

    The Rose at its finest:

    I pruned the rose very hard a couple of months ago after reading up on the subject. It is now just producing the first few flowers - I'll post some pictures when they are fully open.

    Cmon man no need to slice them up.

    Surely you have a neighbour you dont like, I thought everyone does.

    guess I'll post this, beats the shitty old wizards sleeve rose photo I just took, must ban them from my garden all they're good for is kicking for a feel good effect.

    Got nothing but pure respect for people surfing waves like that, also any other extreme sport people.

    No wonder they get all the best pussy.

    It's a sure way to live and a sure way to die, bet its feels great doing it though.

    Falling in the deep is no problem to them, the problem comes nearer the coast when they are in what is basiclly foam, zero manoeverability to get air.

    I'll stick to MTB'ing, just not Red Bull style off canyons.
