Wooden
Tripods
wooden
tripods are great for work in water - particularly salt water.
This is an old army signaling tripod converted with a manfoto
head. The legs can be spread wide which allows the camera to
be positioned quite close to the ground. |

|
The
legs can be extended for greater height. |
 |
This
is a small Manfroto tripod which is light enough to carry when
traveling. |
 |
By
removing a rubber bush, the central shaft can be removed. |

|
This
can then be turned upside down which allows the camera to be set
very close to the ground. |

|
Notice how this tripod has supports
that link from the legs back to the central column which stops
the legs from spreading outwards. |
 |
The
tripod has to be large enough to take the weight of the camera.
This 4x5 camera requires a larger and stronger tripod than a 35mm
camera would. |
