You don't have IS or VR on your lenses and don't want to use a tripod?
You want to spend about... 1 $?

Check this out... it makes sense in a way...

Nice idea Kris. I guess by using two of them, you could place one under each foot and have a bi-pod due, to the tri-angulation of the setup, which would drastically reduce horizontal as well as vertical movement......... 8-)




EDIT: I will be making one........ 8-)

I remeber reading about this in a book.

That looks like a great idea.

Who wants to give this a try?

One dollar?

Off I go to B&Q...

Into the nuts and bolts aisle to get my bolt... ah, they only come in packs of 20...

I can still buy my bolts n nuts in any quantity i like, really nice store right around the corner here.  ;)

A nice idea, and may reduce camera shake in fairly high shutter speed shots, but it's certainly no replacement for a tripod. You won't be able to take any long exposure shots with this, which is essentially what a tripod is for. It may provide a cheap, albeit less effective replacement for a monopod, but then, you get what you pay for!

Atleast it is better then nothing, and carrying a big tripod with you can be a disadvange from time too time.
