A sudden gust of wind almost sent my camera rig over the edge at the Grand Canyon
I was setting up for a long exposure of the Milky Way near the South Rim, my tripod legs extended on loose gravel. A strong, unexpected wind came through, tilting the whole setup toward the canyon drop. I had to lunge and grab the center column, barely keeping my Nikon D850 and 14mm lens from going over. Ever have a close call that made you rethink your gear's stability?

Always hang your bag from the tripod hook.

Hanging stuff from the tripod hook is a bold move. I tried that once and the whole thing just slowly tipped over like a tired giraffe.
