(yes, it's true

Having said that, I don't think it's certain that you'll actually get charged these fees. But you have to be aware that it's at someone else's discretion, so you must allow for it. If you do go for the Garretts, I'd still get the height adjustable Bogen Manfrotto 3258 tripod. The height adjustment is absolutely necessary - you won't last a night without it
