In answer to the question about light tripods, I bought a gadget for
about six bucks that isn't a conventional tripod.  Instead it just has a 
screw clamp on the bottom and some 3-D adjustments so you can get the 
camera pointing where you want it.  Very light and, provided you
can find something in the world to screw the clamp onto (OYY, such grammar),
it works well.
