|Okay, what IS a chainpod ????
A nickname for a spouse? :-)
I haven't used one myself, but Roger Hicks (Shutterbug
writer and photographer) has used and described them in at
least one of his books. Basically, you attach a
sufficiently long chain to a screw (1/4" or 3/8") which fits
the tripod socket. To use, you stand on the chain at a
point which supplies the necessary tension to establish
rigid support for one's shooting position. It is flexible
enough to store away in just about any gadget bag.
