describes my tripod MO perfectly.

don't fly much.
when I do
it's the leitz table top
and a gitzo monopod

a mono pod
and two short, vinyl coated dog cables
makes for a surprisingly
steady camera support
which can actually be where you want the camera.
the quick release latches allow you make loops
to go around your feet (and other objects)
forming infinite triangulation possibilities
quite light and packs very small.

the table top tripod against walls, trees and poles
works wonderfully
except the walls and such
are never where
I want the camera to be
