Google "chestpod" for a few takes on this sort of thing. B&H sells a couple of varieties.

What a good idea Jeff, it wouldn't be too difficult to make one of with plastic cold water plumbing tubing that would be much lighter and just as rigid, I have some 1" diam. stuff in my basement and a tube of the welding compound to stick it together with, I think I'll try this weekend.

I have a mini tripod that I use this way - just extend one leg and place it mid tummy, and keep the other two legs short and they sit on my sternum.

Very interesting!

Must be a Vol fan.

The Leitz table top tripod could also be used as a chest pod, granted it cost more than $2.00
