I don’t know if a tripod like this exists, but if you know of one I’d love to hear about it. I want a small, lightweight tripod which would support my K-x with kit lens (790 grams) at a height of say 0.5 to 1 metres. The most important feature would be that the three legs can be opened simultaneously by a single action – maybe some spring-loaded mechanism? There would be a quick attachment/release plate. The whole idea being that in any terrain I could plant the tripod, attach the camera, set the delayed shutter release and take a wide-angle ‘selfie’ with as little fuss as possible. Any ideas most welcome.

So, I decided to sell the trusty K50 and the 2 kit lenses as a bundle to a friend, (I really don't want to sell it). So I went out and bought a Sigma 17-50 2.8 lens this weekend to replace my kit lens. I don't think the image quality is really any better! Most of my city monsu 2 apk shots are with that 18-55 or my 50mm. The 24-70 isn't available here yet. Could it be me? Does it take some getting used to?
