It consists of two adjustable straps and a swivel screw which attach to a camera and the user's belt loops. After adjusting the straps for individual height, tension is achieved when the user pulls up on the camera as the photo is taken, providing a three point stabilization system."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1291483840.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Looking to get greater stability when taking photos? If you don't mind looking a <em>little </em>goofy, then this might be just the product for you. It's definitely clever!</p>

Jason, I agree with you - it is interesting. But I think it would be better if the straps had some elastic or rubber in them so that the stability comes where you decide to hold it and not just at your eye level. Suppose you need to look up or down for a shot. You wouldn't be able to if you had set the straps to eye level when you're looking straight ahead.

This is what I use... works pretty well for being under $1.
