Bottle cap monopod

Spotted via 37signals' Signal vs. Noise blog, the Bottle Cap Tripod (but really a monopod) looks a very nifty and ingenious item for photographers who get caught needing a steady hand but don't have a tripod. It's basically an adapter that screws onto a standard drinks bottle and into the tripod screw on a camera to give you a makeshift stand. It looks potentially quite handy, though might suffer with a larger SLR camera. It's at least a nice compromise between having to lug a tripod around and being without anything at all to steady the camera. I also noticed that in the comments of the svn blog post someone posted a link to a how-to on making your own adapter rather than spending $20. Even more nifty!
