3rd. gaffer tripod legs...no scratches
4th gaffer lens....avoid scratches
5th...pull out gaffer tape, it will leaves sticky gum on them, use another gaffer tape, tap it, come out easily....original grip..unharm..:)

come to think of it, next time old liao no photos to show grandchildren, quite sad. but in return we get to tell stories from photos, so i guess that evens things up.
-
i'm using the camera.. so hard to take a pic of myself but i still do
unlike some, i do not shy away from the camera
which reminds me... i just packed.. must get the small tripod.. maybe... but need to get the little button battery for the remote control of the H9 so that i can take pics

no idea how the H9 looks like. why get tripod? monopod.
multi purpose. and cool to swing, twirl, pull stunts, beat the living daylights out of pickpockets.

Sony DSC-H9
a little tripod to take pics of self.. it comes with a little remote control so can set it up, and take pics of ourselves
a monopod is not necessary for somthing this small
maybe i should just get a little beanbag

RAW only good if you're going to photoshop the shit out of it.. but you don't really need it unless you're going for the professional tweak...
my H9 is just a souped up point and shoot with 15x zoom
