String "Tripod"
Here's a cheap alternative to a conventional tripod/monopod, which you can make at home for next to nothing. Haven't tried it myself, but it looks viable. Feedback from anyone who gives it a go would be helpful.

Re: String "Tripod"
Neat idea.
 Some people used to do a similar thing with the old TLR cameras that had a waist-level viewfinder at the top. You could loop the strap under your foot and pull the camera upwards to steady it.  |

Re: String "Tripod"
You used to be able to buy gadgets like that I am sure. Another one -that I still have! but have not used for at least 20 years-(goes off to look in mirror, checking for wrinkles
 ) Is a neck loop with a metal rod that fits into the tripod bush. Loop goes round neck and adjusts so that camera on rod is at right level. Did I explain that OK?  |

Re: String "Tripod"
Like Silky said, this is as old as the hills. I was taught this trick by my dad when he gave me my first camera aged 8 and I still sometimes use it to this day so well done Charlotte for pointing it out. A lot of people make things overly complicated when there are much simpler ways to do things so always good to remind us to KISS.... Keep It Simple Stupid!
Cheers, Rob |
