Damn it, can't find any pics of them anywhere!  This means I'm gonna have to get the camera out doesn't it.

The codes are:
SF33  Tripod, large (1)     Â£3.50
SF34  Tripod, small (1)     Â£2.00
SF35  Crab Walker (1)      £3.00

I'll have them at all the shows if you'll be at them?

Right then, where's my camera....

I've asked Jenna to take a pic of the large tripod, I'll post it up once I've got it.  They're not on the current website, but they should be on the new one.

Not to hand unfortunately.  It's very similar to the Large one, with 6 smaller legs, and 2 claw hands at the front.  I'll see if I can get some kind of pic sorted.

Thanks mate - the description is fine, sounds just what I'm looking for  8)

Is it taller / shorter than the other tripods?

It'll be inbetween.  The body is the essentially same as the large, but the smaller legs keep it closer to the ground.
