[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 446619, member: 6277"] About 26 years ago I had an Olympus OM2n with a motor winder. Pretty slick back that long ago. I had it sitting on a tripod in my home studio and my 4 year old son came running through the room. Down goes the tripod and camera. Lucky the only thing that broke was the motor winder. It popped in half with part on the camera and the rest on the tripod. Probably saved the camera from damage. I still have the camera and the lesson learned has stuck with me all the years. Tripods are a necessary evil but yes, I do not trust them. Strap around my neck while the camera is on a tripod especially outside. [/QUOTE]
