Might be applicable to rifles too. If it works.


Not sure it works where it is most needed, on long, heavy lenses.

That is one of the many uses of a sling. It is not just a means of
carrying a rifle. I first leaned to use a sling to stabilize a rifle as
an eleven year old. In Olympic three position target shooting a
specialized sling which is attached to the rifle fore stock on an
adjustable rail, is used for prone and kneeling, but is not permitted
for standing.
....and it works very well.

It is also useful for the non-target shooter in a sitting position, off
hand, or almost any position he/she might find themselves in.

I have used a variation, using mono filament, instead of a string. It is
similar to what tony Cooper described and works quite well.

Might depend on the rifle recoil.

It has worked in various formats for at least 50 years.

A good sling brace technique beats the hell out of screwing around with
a bit of string. ;-)

Instead, tie the camera to a heavy brick. The
weight of the assembly will resist vibrations.

I sort of have the idea that in the idea in the link, the stabilization
will be from two points, not one. A dangling brick will most likely make
the camera more unstable, and even one string you step on will only give it
perpendicular stabilization, while this three-point idea will give you both
lateral and perpendicular stabilization.
