Find a bolt that fits the thread of your camera - araldite it to the bank stick :cool:

Or get yourself a nice Bembo tripod from your local, friendly photo-shop.

Definately go for a tripod, far more stable.

Terry Eustace (Gold Label) Swivel Camera Adaptor with a 360° built in ball socket/swivel so photographs can be taken at any angle. forget the tripod too much extra carrying weight.

I would say forget the bank stick idea! Fish of a lifetime and you so easily knock the bankstick, you only find out when you get the prints back!

 

Andrew, when did you last check out the weight of a small amateur tripod? Okay , so a pro job weighs in at a few pounds, but I reckon a good, secure platform is worth the effort.

 

And you can stand a tripod on hard ground!

 

Better still, forget the camera! Go minimalist!!

You can get one from the likes of jessops, they are standard adapters that fit tripods with a drop down base plate.
