[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 436643, member: 13090"] I have early rise insomnia (meaning I don't have trouble falling asleep but I tend to wake up at ungodly early hours of the morning) which can lead to some less than discriminate purchases at odd hours. To wit: this sub-$100 Afaith Q-666C tripod. I'm calling it the "Tripod of the Beast", for all the obvious reasons.
