[Mokusatsu (Australia)]

I just made another minor mod. Although it's solidly built and about as shake-free as the materials and physics permit, it is rather top heavy. It was worryingly easy to tip over.

I believe I've now rectified that. I made these clamps out of bolts and t-nuts which allow me to attach heavy weights to the legs of the tripod. Together these weigh about 20kg and ought to make it a lot less likely to tip if a gust hits it.

Round headed bolts would have been better because they have the square profile that stops them spinning, but I only had hex bolts lying around. They worked ok for the knobs. The attachment to the legs is accomplished via t-nuts.

I don't use the weights at home as it's fine for my back yard, but next time I take it into the field and there is a breeze I'll feel a lot better about walking away from it with these anchors attached.
