Remember them? A new gadget is now available from 7DayShop.com - Steadepod. I just received mine and it looks good - will take on holiday to Mallorca and see how it goes.

Re: String Tripod/Support
In my day, when we didn't have a tripod with us, we used a loop of string.
Step in the loop, pull it taught and you have the next best thing to a monopod.Last edited by colin C; 06-06-2013, 14:58.Colin -

Re: String Tripod/Support
I use a tree, hedge, bin, fence, knee, or anything I can rest on. Loop of string sounds so much fun to watch people gasp near you lolFuji X-T1 | 1D IV

Re: String Tripod/Support
The loop of string idea also reminds me of the way Edward Fox made a gun mount by putting the loop round a small tree trunk in the film The Day of The Jackal. Could use the same idea putting the lens thru the loop instead of the gun barrell.
