anyone use a support to help stability when shooting freehand? Cullman make a cheap looking 'pod' at a not so cheap £40. I expect some of you have rigged up your own version. Normally I can support the camera fine but when shooting at head height in the undergrowth it can be taxing.

Good idea, I'm surprised that no one has made a steadycam for macro shooters. It'd look awkward, probably feel awkward, but I don't see any reason why it's not possible.

Awesome! Where do we sign up to get our hands cut off? And do we get to choose which hand? After all, we aren't all ambidextrous...

Kewl setup Bandit ! Last year at one of the traditional archery shoots I go to a fellow there had a rig made to draw the string back with, there was a cable release that went around his shoulders to his mouth where he activated the release with his teeth. Worked great unless someone made him laugh while drawing the bow ;);).

Hiya Trevor,

It's amazing what can be done when needs must, I knew a guy that played Dart he had no hands just Biceps with three stubby fingers he used to pick the darts up with these place them in his mouth & blow with a loud Phaaa sound & these Darts always hit their mark he was very accurate the trouble was he couldn't get em out of the board :lol:


Cheers for now
