Want to rent or borrow tripod - $20.

[Bean Counter]

I am tasked to shoot a wedding ( ) for a service person at or around JBLM.  The first wedding I did (  ) I brought my tripod in my truck but this trip to Seattle will necessitate a flight in and space is at a premium.  Needs to have a fluid head that pans smoothly and some sort of grip. Time frame will be early November,  which means 1/2 of you wessiders will  be out in search of wapiti, so this is a long shot.   Id rather not have to buy a tripod so im willing to drive a reasonable distance to pick up.  Thanks

Sounds like you're looking for something high end.
If no offers: 
Go to Glazers camera's web sigh, they have a very good rental department.

Thanks. Are they a brick and mortar?

Cool thanks! I'll be in touch when more details roll in.

Other replies welcome just in case timing, etc. doesn't work out with Wadu. It will be good to have a backup plan.

Thanks.

It is similar to this one Vanguard Alta+ 233AO, I'm just 20 minutes North of JBLM if you want to check it out sooner.

If for some reason it doesn't workout with wadu1 I have a tripod you can borrow as well. I live close to the east gate side but go through Spanaway all the time so no problem meeting somewhere by it. Ummm... I don't know what brand it is, it looks like wadu's but grey haha.

Oh okay just looked, it's this: http://www.amazon.com/59-4-Inch-PlatinumPlus-Digital-Release-Olympus/dp/B0026JO05E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405473177&sr=8-1&keywords=sunpak+5800d+tripod I got it yeeeeeaaarrrrsss ago but didn't use it much so all parts are there and works fluid.

Great!  I will PM all three of you when the details are firmed up. Thanks all!

I have an old, 25 year old Profoto. It's pretty solid and still works pretty well after all this time. Made for holding up those big VHS camcorders.  I live a stones throw from JBLM.
