+RC Cave You're welcome .. when I take pictures I use my S3 phone. I have been known to sit on the ground, lean to one side and twist and bend and lay on the rocks at times to get that loooowwwww down picture :)
+RC Cave there are MANY cheap tripods all of 4 or 6 inches high. You can find them in most shops, easy to carry around :) there are some with flexible legs, good for those uneven surfaces and lets face it, when do we ever find an even surface? :)
