Title: Want to rent or borrow tripod - $20.
Post by: Bean Counter on July 13, 2014, 07:08:28 PM: I am tasked to shoot a wedding ( :yike: ) for a service person at or around JBLM. The first wedding I did ( :yike: ) 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 :hello:

If no offers:
Go to Glazers camera's web sigh, they have a very good rental department.

Thanks.

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.

Post by: jyerxa on July 16, 2014, 07:10:38 AM: 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. :chuckle: I live a stones throw from JBLM.
