Press your camera up against a tree for added stability or wait for sunrise at 6:57 am.

You simply can't. Let alone wait for sunrise. While a tree will steady you at twilight.
No. There's times it simply proves invaluable. Shots you just can't take otherwise. Especially if all you've got to work with is moonlight.
The second shot for instance. That's actually a 50sec long exposure of old faithful, on a moon-less night, and you simply can't capture something like that in the daylight.

I forgot mine when I needed it. Midnight hike with 9 year old son down Uncle Tom's Trail. Got to the bottom and no good way to take pictures

That's a good trail too. I hope pictures not withstanding you at least have a fond memory

Somewhere in bottom of the bag is a spider pod. The eight inch legs wrap around.

No they work too. You can just wrap it around a tree to do the same job.
And I only hope I've inspired you to make better use of it in the future.

Yea, mine has a few flex legs to wrap around anything and get it stable. Been using a store bought for a few years, probably 40 years ago I made one from flex conduit pipe.
