     I would be concerned about damaging the tree if I came to that point.

     Could you provide a photo or two of those modified tripods?  I need to 
find a solution for this problem.  I've looked at smaller tripods as well as 
mounts that clamp on to tripod legs and I'm not at all enthusiastic about 
anything I've seen.  A sturdy clamp that would fit on the Manfrotto 3001 leg 
would do.

     Something I didn't think of until now was to spread the 3001 legs out as 
far as they would go.  I'm going tpheck that out when I return home later.
