This modification is not one I made to my conversion van, but to the camera tripod I carry in it. I like the Chevy Express van's large door pockets where I carry my little fold up camp chairs and my tripod, because it is so easy to get at them. I modified my tripod with a slow-motion adapter that I purchased from an astronomy telescope website. It allows me to make fine adjustments as I am tracking a bird or an animal with my telephoto or zoom lens on the camera.

The other modification to the tripod was wire-tying the shutter release cable to one of the knobs on the tripod. Now I do not have to dig through my camera bag looking for it and it is always ready and handy to use when I am trying to take tripod pictures.
