Good opportunity Denton for me to mention my Camcane (available from Billingham
- www.billingham.co.uk I believe). They are the bag people (and coats etc...).
It is a carbon fibre (I think) walking stick with an extensible inner. Mine has
a ball top on which fits a rubber cup which screws into the camera's tripod
bush. But I also have the "hunter" attachment, a hard rubber rest on which you
can rest a longer lens. I also have a leather and elastic shoulder strap which I
can use to carry it when not wading up streams ;-). The Camcane is quite
stylish and extremely useful for steadying the little OMs - as well as being
light like the cameras.
