That's a great tip Ed.  I think there are rocks in Bolivia!  Except on the salar I may have to use chunks of salt!  Great idea!  Will remember it for sure.

Jacquie, I'm a writer who takes photographs, which is not the same as being a photographer. Even so, I want to get good images, so I carry a tripod. It's a lightweight tripod, so for stability, I also carry a cloth sack (weighs nothing), pick up a rock where needed and put it in the sack, and then hang the bag from the hook where the three legs meet. I figure there are rocks everywhere.

Thanks!  I can already see that it is not easy to combine the sturdiness of a heavy duty tripod with the practical features of a light-weight model that will fit in my backpack.  Thanks again, Jacquie

We mostly use a mini tripod on the road but when we need a more heavy duty one, we use this Polaroid tripod that is quick to set up, light, comes with it's own travel bag, and has a carrying handle and hook to hang it in the closet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LTB8GM/ref=oh_o03_s00_i01_details

I have a Davis & Sanford.

It is heavy but really tough. I hike into some rough areas and it needs to withstand brutal abuse.

Their tripods are well built, I have had mine for three years and lugged it all over these mountains in WV.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good tripod?  Going to Uyuni Salar in March.  Planning to take photos with Nikon D5000, which is heavy. 

Should be light weight, sturdy enough to hold heavy camera and easy to pack.Thanks, Jacquie

Help! I just bought an Elph, I want to transfer some photos to my PC, and the instruction manual doesn't tell me how to remove the black cover that hides the port for the cable. Do you know how to do it?
