Better than a tripod

GorillaPod

GorillaPod is a really cool product that allows you to stabilize your camera nearly anywhere. Its flexible, but still as tough as nails. Its a little expensive at just over 20 bucks, but its a high quality item so you can justify the cost. There is now an SLR version too, which is nice since the original GorillaPod would be overwhelmed by heavier cameras.

Instructables has a great post on how to waterproof your digital camera on the cheap. A simple zip-lock bag is the secret behind this one. This could be quite useful for you outdoor photographer’s that go anywhere near liquid. I have yet to drop an expensive camera in a lake or stream, but I have come close a few times. I imagine it would be a true bummer to give that brand new Digital SLR a bath.

The how-to is on instructables.
