Hah! I like that, Bob! Although I somehow bet it wouldn't fly.. :-) A minor equipment note: I've found that the Peak Design Travel Tripod is a nice size (40cm long, 25cm circumference, 8cm diameter cylinder in the case), weight (1411g, 1322 without the case), and match for bicycling. In its case, it slips into my small cycling backpack easily and deploys/packs down again quickly. It takes up only a little more space in my backpack than a good tabletop tripod does and is far more useful. I've carried it a fair bit now and find it very nice to have along for a lot of situations. It's much more stable and convenient than the Sirui T-025x travel tripod was, and actually packs down smaller.
