General Discussion / Re: The Front Porch

Spokane had a big nasty windstorm in June of 2005, with a record sustained wind speed of 77 miles per hour. That knocked out power for a lot of residents at the time, including me and my folks, which lasted for about 6 or 7 hours.

I'm trying to find a tripod to go along with a camcorder I'm thinking about purchasing real soon, and I want to know: do all camcorders/cameras fit on any tripod?    I just wanted to make sure before I make any decisions.

So long as they use a standard mount, which the overwhelming majority will, then yes, it will fit.

Okay thanks for the info, Eric 

I'm trying to get a new camcorder along with some equipment. This is what I'll be purchasing real soon from Amazon:

• A blue Sony Handycam DCR-SX45
• A 60-inch Vista Explorer tripod
• A 32 GB Transcend SDHC flash memory card

IMO the handycam is an excellent camera    I previously borrowed one from an old friend of mine back in Spokane to record a rock concert there last May. The digital zoom and picture quality are excellent, and the sound is good, despite it being so loud at the concert.

As of this morning I have not seen a 2-minute LF flavor (it might be a mix-up due to coverage of TS Isaac) unless I missed something. Did anyone see a 2-minute flavor this morning? 

The LFs are shortened due to Isaac, something that's been done since 2005

Ahh, I see now. I was well unaware that shortened LFs during coverage of hurricanes/tropical storms are normal. Thanks for the info Zach
