woodyspedden Posted July 3, 2007 Share #22 Posted July 3, 2007 Raspberry ripple - see here RASPBERRY RIPPLE AWARDS . There are lots of these bumpons on eBay under "rubber feet" - that is where I got them for putting my hi-fi components on the glass shelves of my flat screen TV support. Wilson One other technique that Jaap passed along to me is to use the Leica tabletop tripod as a chest mount to steady the camera. I have arthritis as well as the beginning stages of Parkinson's disease and this technique has become a lifesaver for me. It certainly is nothing you would use as a streetshooter (you become a little obvious!) but in most circumstances it works well. For example in wedding work, where there is no stealth involved, it could help you shoot from moderately sharp to very sharp as you gain experience with it. YMMV Woody Spedden Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guy_mancuso Posted July 3, 2007 Share #23 Posted July 3, 2007 Using a chest pod here with the 50 Nocti on board at a 1/90 of a second . Even though a little fast it gives extra stability to the camera Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted July 3, 2007 Share #24 Posted July 3, 2007 Ah- I use those hard-metal needle feet for that. I would hesitate to use those on the M8 though I have those for all my speakers - tried that first on the M8 but it gave me a headache. Sorry guys - I just can't see me wandering round the street carrying my M8 on my table tripod. I had one of those weird things for my Contax G2, that fixes onto the base and allows you to carry two lenses plus it had a handle in the middle - gave that up as people would stare.

wlaidlaw Posted July 5, 2007 Share #25 Posted July 5, 2007 I really can't suggest strongly enough that anyone who has any difficulty holding the M8 or wants to take one handed shots, gives my 3M Bumpon solution a go. I have been using it for the last two days and I can tell you for certain, mine will be staying on for good. It makes holding the camera far more secure. It also seems that I naturally pick it up now every time with my fingers out of the way of the rangefinder ghost image mini-window rather than sometimes having to adjust my hold after I pick it up. Fit the Bumpon as close to the edge of the curve as you can get it. They are flexible and will bend a little bit round the curve. FYI the size I am using and it seems about right is: 20 mm x 20 mm x 7.5 mm thick. For about £3, you really can't go wrong. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
