Well, my Manfrotto tripod was not to blame for the previously reported bad smell after all, but at least we got a few good laughs out of it.
Matt K. came the closest with his guess about dog poo. Turned out to be dog pee instead. The dog has been guzzling water because of a medication she's taking and she's having trouble making it through the night without an extra trip outdoors. She's chosen the dining room to sheepishly relieve herself which combined with the house being closed up tighter while my wife is out of town for a few days. Hence the strong surprise smell first noticed when I sat down and opened the tripod.
Oh and the L.A. smog, it's smog.
Cheers.

Steve, what can I say  This thread has certainly amused me
Just watch out you don't put your new Tripod in a pile and bring it back home with you one day.
Mic. Smell In Peace.

Steve
That's made one hell of a story, along with a few good chuckles.
Thanks.
Thanks also for clearing up the smog issue (pun INTENDED  )

Your tripod should no longer be called a Manfrotto, but a Dogpeepee.
Mal I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Steve,
Have you taken your Manfrotto to the Smog Check Station yet? Compulsory here in Australia!

Your dog is lucky the tripod didn't cock its leg back.
Regards

Steve, you can stop rolling around the floor laughing now, just thinking about all these aussies you got to go smell their tripod.
ps my SB800 smells like peaches and cream and if you lick it tastes like it too, does anyone elses taste like that?

I wouldn't have believed it, Glen, but you're right! I think I detected a hint of honey as well.

I'm getting a bit concerned here.
In 1974 in Afghanistan they called a mixture of shit (hash) and honey sacred honey !
Is that what you guys are stashing in your tripods ?
