There are several semi-professional thrifters in my life that regularly rotate through the different Goodwill stores in our city prowling for deals. Their habit exposes me to a bit of second hand second hand shopping, and I always request camera equipment. Above is the current state of the tripod pile.
Often times these donated tripods don’t come fitted with their adapter plates for attaching to cameras. This nominally terminal condition is easily recoverable in the age of 3D printing.
