Hey M&A, I just got an email that said that my Ace won't be shipping out until January, so I was wondering if anyone on here has a tripod they aren't using that they could loan me until then. I'd pay shipping both ways+$20 for the tripod. I would like at least a manfrotto 701 setup, as the stuff I am shooting will need a decent tripod head. Thanks!

Thats going to be a tough find, not many have more than one set of sticks, and those that do likely rent out there camera gear, and they'd likely charge you a rate to use it.  I'd rent one from somewhere local when you actually are going to use it. 

I'd lend you mine but I'd charge a rate for the whole time it was gone for example.  Where a local camera/rental shop will only charge you per day's use.

I'm copping my school newspaper's old 501 setup for a couple months. Sweet.
