INSTRUCTIONS: Go to a hardware store. Purchase no more than $10 (US$) worth of materials. Build something very unusual yet useful. Use it.

A string mono-pod


Yup, its exactly what I said hehehe

1x 1/4 -20 steel eye hook...
40ft or so of braided nylon or poly cord

and one carabiner

screw the steel eye hook into the camera, and the other end with the carabiner is the anchor. I usually hold it with my foot.

Sure, it's not a 100% mono pod, but it sure helps stabilize the camera more.

- smaller
