OK so for Rich's birthday I want to get him a tri-pod like this.

He has an XTI
I wanna make sure that one will work and if anyone knows of anywhere else I can get the same product (well, same type, brand not important) with it not being backordered?

I got a gorillapod for Xmas - this thing is pretty cool. Should help a lot with taking pics from the car with the window rolled half way down.

I ended up getting three tripods for Christmas. I got a gorillapod, a medium 24.5" compact lightweight, and a large compact 48".
All from different families. Now the savings begin for a digital slr...
