hello, mr.onzede!

no self-portraits, i do not need to be reminded of bad news each time i look at my computer.

im going to use it to get very low angle shots of my cars.

will do! the one sold at amazon appears to be able to hold wat looks like a full sized DSLR.

Whew, I thought you were going to get a bit self-indulgent there for a minute. Once you have a tripod, you can also start playing around with time exposures -- fun stuff.

I actually have one of those flexible Gorilla Pods that I use for selfies and timer shots with point-and-shoot when I'm traveling. I'm often traveling by myself and I have to shoot my own "I was here" shots. I can frame up a selfie with the timer and get a way better shot than what I get when a passerby with good intentions offers to help.

i want an ant's view shot of my car.

i'd have to roll on the ground to see that and 92% of the time you wont find me rolling around on my back in parking lots.

Ha!
I actually got some of my favourite low-angle shots of my cars while rolling around on the ground.

Here's a quick and dirty Droid picture of my lawn:
