Does anyone own one of these or knows of anyone having one?Do they keep your camera/lens steady?
Here is a link to the website for those who don't know what one is.

I've used one. Personally I get better results with a monopod because the one leg of the monopod combined with my two legs makes a very steady tripod.. The bushhawk, while nice and does work, only adds more weight to the setup in my opinion. Though, you do get some stabilization from the rifle tripod you create with your upper body. |

I've thought about getting one for my 500mm, but never pulled the trigger (pun intended) because I wasn't sure about how comfortable it would be with such a heavy lens.

I shoot with the Novoflex Chest/Shoulder pod which is very similar. I love mine. Just like using a monopod basically, works quite well. I also have the Slik pod like these and it works wonderful, but is no longer made.

Thanks to everyone for their replies.I might just have to invest in one of these or the one Gemologist suggested,because I'm crap at holding a big lens whilst shooting birds. |
