I'm a little skeptical. Especially when I think about using this with my 70-300mm lens. Seems like random luck will still play a big roll in camera shake on photos. Still... this could counter the enormous weight my 70-300mm lens puts towards the front of the camera. Test it out and tell me how it goes. I'm not equipped to be Mr. Fix-it here at college.

ya, thats very interesting, definently gotta try it out. i dont know if i would do it in public tho, people who didnt know would be like "double you tee eff is he doing?"

sure, it works for action shots or quick shutter shots, but those arent usually the problem. the most common problem people have that their images are blurry are when they use a slower shutter speed to absorb more light in a dimly light scenery. my point and shoot has almost 0 blur when i take a quick shot or even a "back lit" shot (which is slightly slower shutter speed i believe). but when i take one with no flash on, i get blur like no other...

No, they'd understand perfectly, they'd be like, "Look, its one of those 'starving artists' you always hear about".

Thinking about this further though, there are very few times where I'm standing straight up. I'm almost always on one knee or at least slouched over. Still, I'm going to check if my tool box has the right size screw for this. Probably doesn't, but who the hell knows.

hmmmm

vertical shake will be decreased just liek if you used a mono pod however it wont get everything nor will it get horizontal shake.

interesting idea
