Tripod setup....?

#1 Post by mackfish »

Yes lads...
At long last I've got round to gettin myself a tripod...what I was wondering is...do I face it into the wind or with the wind?
And if tide is goin left to right to I put it facing right?..
Cheers

it can be used any way you like ,and adjusted to the conditions of the day ,try it different ways till you find what you like ,just because you see someone using it a particular way isnt always what might suit you or your target spieces :wink:
