Camera geekery

We're also up to 7 tripods now. We've got a lightweight "normal" tripod, we've each got a monopod - Manfrotto 1100s, with a mini-ball-head (Teeka) or a Manfrotto 3D head (me) - and I've got a mini tripod, and she had a micro tripod (what else do you call one that's only 3" tall?). Today the GorillaPods we ordered after Christmas came in. She's getting a GP1 and I'm getting a GP3, which really needs to be matched with the 3D to work right.
Then there's my camera bag. It's a Lowepro Nova Pro 1 AW, either my third or fourth bag. It contains the camera, a big Quantaray flash (a QTB 7500A with the Nikon AF module), the mini tripod, the GorillaPod, a laser pointer, a remote shutter cable/timelapse controller, the battery charger and its cord, the AC adapter, 5 spare batteries (4 rechargables and one lithium), 4 spare AAs for the flash, three spare memory cards, a cleaning kit and duster bulb, and some hard candies that Teeka left in it. And now, since I added the GorillaPod, it's full. And I haven't added the 3D head yet.
I'm resisting a new bag, but I'm looking at the Nova Pro 3 AW as an upgrade.
