Late August in Raleigh and the 24 Foot Tall Tripod

August 28, 2009 | Switch to full images

Frustrated by trees, power lines and other objects obstructing views around town, I decided to purchase the Manfrotto "Super High Camera Stand". Essentially a tripod extending to 24 feet high, it should allow me new and unique perspectives on the city.
