father as well. I need ideas, and asap! need to order something and get it by the 24th. Under $60 if possible. I can get other people to chip in if need be. Suggestions?

I thought it might be decent, since he does carry a bunch of random stuff in a bag...haha; but my sister laughed at it, and I dunno if he would use it really.
Are there any tripods with a quick release, pan/tilt swivel head, that also has a bubble leveler, but not $700 /?? He has a Nikon D-80, and the tripod he has now is not sturdy enough.
I ended up getting him a bubble-level for the hotshoe on his Nikon DSLR. It's a 3-way leveler, so it will work well to get the tripod straight for landscape shots, etc. $20; He thought it was pretty cool. Just in case anyone needed something different to get anyone, it's a cool little item.
Great gift. It looks like a two way level to me. It also assumes that the hot shoe is level with the image plane. Don't get me started on "level".
Oh yea; sorry, I didn't link to the particular item I bought...the one at the link is a two way. ... And yes...just realized though that you are right about the image plane being "level". Well hopefully the eye in coorination with the machine will get a good result. I'll let ya know how it works!
Now I'm just curious; QAed = quality assuranced? If so that's hilarious! Likewise what is NIST/what do you do if you don't mind me asking?
Cheers
NIST is the National Institute for Standards and Technology. They set rules and measures and associated calibration/tracking standards. For certain fields of science this is exceedingly important and labs pay a hefty NIST calibration premium.
NIST also has a research wing that advances technologies in what used to be purely non-medical fields...

Other than my dad, everyone else in my family is a breeze.
I should note that I finally settled on getting my father a Jack Sack.

Just ignore me.

How did it go over? I bought my old man a crossbow for shootin' varmint in his garden. Silent, like Rambo, so the neighbors don't complain.
A crossbow, huh? I would imagine that those are pretty quiet so long as it's a clean kill. Otherwise it could be very loud. For a while.
