has posted at his most excellent blog a great link from
Instructables. It's a simple, easy tripod for your camera
made of a screw and a piece of string. It's not perfect, but what a cool idea. I've long wanted to get one of these
hiking pole tripods, but I think the string would work better. Or at least be easier to take on vacation.
