I can't remember where I saw it...
Someone made a simple contraption to keep the camera steady
They stuck a screw under the camera which had a string attached to it...
At the end of the string was a large metal ring
They stepped on the metal ring and stretched up
The tension on the string helped keep the camera steady
Anyone know what I'm talking about!!?

Any links to how to make guide would be great
It's easy to make I know - I just want to know what type of screw, string and ring used
Also are there any disadvantages to using this system?
I think it's a pretty good idea - maybe not 100% perfect - but close to being as good as a tripod or monopod??
If not using a tripod or monopod, is there anything else that would help keep the camera steady?
(Apart from holding the camera right!)
Thanks
