G12 + 430 EX II + E-TTL cord: Proper use?

The combo, plus a diffuser, makes for interesting pictures.  But it's awkward to use!  Even attaching the flash to the monopod, it's still difficult to hold the camera in one hand AND press down on the shutter.

Could put one of the devices on a tripod, but in a heavy people traffic area, the tripod is not practical.

Is there is some sort of bracketing mechanism that could support the camera & flash, so I have a free hand to manipulate the cameras?  Please suggest terms that I can Google for.
