Julian: A tripod??
If you get one, remember that the NPR has a higher center of gravity with most motors (the Aaton Alcan 54 motor being the exception) so you probably want something with beefier springs so the camera doesn’t tip. So you want to err towards heavier-duty. I once bumped into Jean Rouch in a room filled with tripods. I asked if he ever used one. He said that he brought one along on his first trip to Africa, and lost it when he used it to fight off an alligator (or perhaps a crocodile?) from a canoe. The tripod was lost and never replaced. You will find the NPR hand-holds a lot better without a zoom — a 10mm Switar makes it almost usable, if a bit front-heavy. But I digress. As always.
