			<content type="html"><![CDATA[My tripod, being cheap and lightweight, doesn't have a hook on it either - but it did have another set of threads on the bottom of the center post. If yours does too, maybe you can do what I did to help stabilize: I drilled a hole in the cap of a sport drink bottle and used a nut to firmly affix the cap on the threads, open end down. Then I filled the bottle with pennies (the wide mouth of the sport drink bottle makes this possible vs. a soda bottle) and screwed it on to the cap.

It's not rock-solid by any means but it did make a difference for me.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[[quote=jampot]Okay, so it's relatively lightweight? One thing you could do is actually get a clamp, to attach it to your desk rather than a tripod. Dunno' how cost effective that would be though, and I think it works better for webcams and that ilk.[/quote]
Yea its a DSL so its not like a webcam but its not like a film camera ether. Thanks I might have to look in to that.
[quote=DarkHoundIV]Post a picture of your set up with the tripod on the ground[/quote]
I might, its a lot of work. Why are you thinking that would be good.


Thanks A ton guys I'm thinking of seeing how it works just on the carpet
