The DIY $0.50 camera stabilizer
This actually looks like a pretty good idea: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/104194...se_the_tripod/

I'll give it a try and report back on my findings...

Simple and looks fairly effective. Though, if you are using a longer lens, would you attach the nut to the mounting ring instead?

Also, you'll have to be extra careful about what you step in.

I hope to see a line of photographers with their huge lenses trying this at the Superbowl.

Saw that on Digg. Looks like a good idea, I'll need a stiff string.

He tied that thing too fast!! (I don't have the knot tying skills of a boy scout)
