<FONT color="#ffffff">The string will of course not totally replace a 
        real tripod. But it can give you just that extra stop. This is the luxury 
        model. - Thanks John for modifying the 1/4 bolt. The basic model is a 
        simple piece of string with just a loop at each end. Put one loop around 
        your camera and put your foot in the other. If you pull it tight, you 
        win up to three stops. 
Cheaper than IS and so low-tech that it exists almost as long as photography 
        itself. 
Now I think of it: did anyone ever try to shoot a gun with this as a stabilizer?<BR /><DIV>
        The one on the right is the one I always have in my bag. Even with a 300mm 
        it can give me 2 stops extra.That may just save my day.</DIV>

I just realized the clipmark preserved the white text that, on the website, rested on a black background. You can highlight it ot click to the source. Sorry about that
