Whilst having a bit of a clearout, I came across my tiffen steady stick that I bought for the XL-2 years ago. Thing is, this little piece of kit seems to be quite well suited to the 7D DSLR, allowing much flexibility such as shoulder mount, steadying whilst focussing etc.

So (yet again) my clearout has just justified me not throwing anything away!

Thought I would share this as DSLR rigs seem to be quite expensive.

(Even better, just realised that the steak stick quick release plate fits the GitZo tripod, bargain!)
