Typical Shutterbug Podcast

Sometimes it is not practical to lug around a tripod.  Here is a little something my dad posted on Flickr.  The StringPod.  He did not invent the idea but has a good explanation for making it.  You basically have a length of cord to a screw that goes into your camera mounting hole.  Keep the cord wrapped around your waist when walking around.  Just drop the cord, step on it and pull up gently till it is taut.  Instant extra camera stabilization.
