I just got my HD-F2 tripod for my ST-80. It is even bigger and sturdier than I thought it would be. I'll bet it could take another couple of pounds too. And as a 2nd, the price couldn't be beat. Haven't got a chance to try it out under a clear sky though...
Now about that slow motion adapter that I ordered at the same time... The shipping company showed it arriving in Portland when the tripod was getting to Colorado. ??? At least I should have it by tomorrow.
