Hi!
Thank you to everyone for your interest. I certainly hope that the trial
continues.
The no tripod 'rule' is for various reasons but since the photos are for
reference only we thought that the quality would be good enough whilst
minimising disruption to others users.
But this is a trial so I'll include your comment in the end-of-trial
analysis.
