Hi Dave
Thanks for another well-made, interesting, and informative video. A slight tweak for the bungy cord is to substitute a beaded chain (like pull chains on ceiling fans). The ‘chain-pod’ takes up almost no space in a pocket, purse, or camera bag. Plus it’s more ‘stable’ than the shock cord.

Hi Dave

I love your show. My daughter learned in her college photography course that any lamp shade holder can be unscrewed and used as a tripod.

Thank Dave.

Mini tripod… Screwed in a very short 1/4 screw up through the inside up a waterbottle cap (16.9 oz) and filled the bottle up with water but better, some sand (from the local park sandbox) for an inexpensive short, tripod.
