These are cool: http://www.trek-tech.com/products/trekpods.html

but expensive.

I wouldn't take my dslr backpacking except that the prettiest and coolest stuff I see I tend to see while backpacking...and the prettiest and coolest stuff deserves the better camera...

It sucks to add the weight, but it's really not that much...and I find it to be worth taking. I also mostly have that weight in my hands rather than on my back, so it doesn't really change much..]]> http://www.gregandbeth.com/blog/index.php?id=9388 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST
Over here, I just keep my Cybershot loose in my pocket all the time, so it is always ready for action. No strap needed.

Image stabilization is great and all, but in lower light situations, you need to hold the camera steady, and a tripod isn't always an option. Even in good lighting, it is better not to rely on fancy stabilization technologies, because they can still come at a cost in picture quality (just like you can't always trust auto-focus for precision work.) With a rifle, if you have a bipod, it will greatly improve your ability to hit the target, but you can't always have a bipod and a stable shooting position. When shooting a rifle, a "hasty sling" will help keep you on target better than nothing at all.]]> http://www.gregandbeth.com/blog/index.php?id=9387 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST
I don't see it as the same as a rifle. If I'm off center on my camera shot by 1/32 inch, my target will still be captured...I just may need a bit of cropping...with a rifle, that 1/32 inch can mean missing your target at long range...I'd think a camera to be more like a shotgun...you want your target in frame and centered, but your accuracy doesn't need to be perfect to hit the target.

That strap does look pretty comfortable though...Still wouldn't be sure about backpacking...i'm not sure I'll ever find a good way to manage that...]]> http://www.gregandbeth.com/blog/index.php?id=9386 Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST Mon, 06 Dec 2010 22:35:13 EST http://www.gregandbeth.com/blog/index.php?id=9385 Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:41:11 EST Tue, 16 Nov 2010 23:41:11 EST
