Traveling Without a Tripod

Flying these days for the casual photographer has become a nightmare. Since we don’t travel all the time with our photo equipment we aren’t up on the latest requirements for things like Tripods.

Most of the time you can slip a mono pod into your carry on and be fine. But if you don’t want to take along a mono pod there is still a creative way you can stabilize your camera for some of those long exposure shots you want. And it won’t cost you a fortune. Yes, you can easily get it through security.

Bean Bag Wrist Rest

Camera Stabilizer for the Beans

I’ve used this little bean bag on multiple occasions while traveling. It works like a charm even for long exposure night shots.

Shooting Tip: I know some wear a vest or carry a backpack when shooting. I don’t like all that much to do. However, I do wear cargo pant or shorts when I go for a shoot. It is so easy to put lenses and gear in those pockets. Yes, I have certain pocket for each piece of gear. It is quick and easy access and the bean bag easily fits in a pocket.
