<You've reminded me of my futile search for an ancient history accessory called
a "bean pod", which was a small pillow filled with styrofoam beads that yo coul
d rest the lens or the entire camera on. I did find something similar but the p
rice was outrageous>.
I think in the UK we would have called it a bean bag. They come/came in all siz
es from bags for indoor games to cheap seats for teenagers. I have not had occa
sion to check lately but I would have expected to be able to buy the polystyrene
beads in the local open market from someone selling them for the seating applic
ation to DIY people who sew their own bags of a size to suit. The usual argumen
t would be whether they were fireproofed or not (as required for furniture sold
commercially. A web search will find the beads readily abailable eg from amazon
or eBay (Someone on the latter is currently offering small quantities for less
than 1 UKP.
