I bought a <a href=\"https:\/\/joby.com\/us-en\/gorillapod-flexible-camera-tripods\/\">GorillaPod<\/a> flexible tripod last week. I used it a bit yesterday evening while I was <a href=\"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/2018\/10\/10\/20181010-sunset-funset-at-zaanse-schans\/\">taking pictures at Zaanse Schans<\/a>, but I discovered that one of the ball joints was floppy. Depending on the angle, it didn&#8217;t have enough resistance to hold the camera in position. When I got it home I noticed that there was a tiny crack in the housing for that joint. So this morning after dropping Fiona off at school, I dropped the GorillaPod at the camera store where I&#8217;d bought it for a warranty repair. Having a good camera store so close to Fiona&#8217;s school is convenient, but may prove a source of awful temptation.<\/p>\n<p>Daily self-care checklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sleep: surprisingly good.
