Everyone needs a tripod but usually carrying one is quite a pain! Hence check out the Quick Pod Deluxe Boom-Style Tripod which is actually a "boom-style hand-held camera mounting pole" which can be extended to a length of 18.5" (47 cm) and be held by the photographer itself! A little strange but to each to its own. It is available here for $24.99.
