Months and month and months ago I backed the Heipi 3 in 1 tripod (heipivision.com/products/heipi...) on Kickstarter. As happens with Kickstarter projects the delivery got pushed back, but that didn't bother me too much.

Then we randomly booked a holiday to London, and of course I got the notification that my tripod would arrive sometime in the vicinity of the holiday.

After hearing nothing at all for weeks after that, last Friday I got the notification from Australia Post that they had received the tripod and were in the process of getting it into my hands sometime this week.

Thankfully here in Melbourne the delivery service is actually quite good and despite being received by AusPost at 11pm Friday night, my shiny new tripod was in my hands yesterday and I took it out for a whirl last night.... just in time to leave to go on holiday tonight.
