DIY String Tripod (aka stringpod)

Don't want to carry around a tripod to get a steady photograph? Try a stringpod (a 3-legged tripod of string). Perfect go-to accessory for steadying shots. Perfect for hikers. Whether you're trying to achieve a high exposure or need to work with a shaky hand, propping your camera on a tripod is crucial to producing a clear image, especially in low light.
