Camera Equipment

For a quick, stable, portable shooting platform, consider using a beanbag or two. These are simple cloth bags filled with sand, plastic beads or similar material. Just plop the beanbag down on most uneven surfaces; the ground, your car hood or door, a wall, etc; prop your camera on the bag to stabilize it and shoot away. You can buy ready-made bags or make your own. A waterproof covering is a plus. Make sure your seams are strong and not likely to come undone on you.
