I've seen this trick covered every few years - it works REALLY well!

Having now tested it in the aforementioned museums and palaces, I am very happy with the results. (And as E Dinkla implied, sometimes old solutions are worth revisiting.)

It did cause some security guards and museum docents to do a double-take ... until they realized that it wasn't a monopod.

I used it all the time for the Iskra 6x6 folder that has no IBIS. Both folder and belt fitted in my coat pockets.

This link points to a 1938 one, there will be older versions; http://www.duto.de/kettenstativ.html
