Milsurp After Hours

For years I have carried this bit of kit around in my camera bag. Very useful if museums and the like prohibit the use of Flash or tripods. It's a Monopod but if challenged by a jobsworth you are able to say "No, it's a piece of knotted string"! It fits neatly into a 35mm film container and weighs nothing at all.


To attach the cord to the screw I just drilled 2 holes and looped it through tying a knot on the opposite side to the thread.

One of those simple yet brilliant ideas. Thanks for sharing that Duncan.
I haven't got a spare flash arm screw but I have got a couple of those little 6 inch tripods that come with digital cameras these days - should be able to create something similar with one of those and a little imagination.
