Extend Your Arm With Quikpod
I just read about this product that may be interesting to travelers.
The Quikpod is basically a monopod with a twist. Literally.
The Quikpod basically acts as an extension of your arm. It holds the camera at an angle so when you hold it out, it lines directly up with you and your friends. This avoids the need to hand your $2000 DSLR camera to a stranger and ask them to take your picture. And it provides better results than holding the camera out with your arm.
Just an interesting product that can also be useful. It goes for $24.95.

Wow! That is a seriously good idea. I can’t tell you how many pictures I have of my face with my arm in it.

Duane, I haven’t tried the product but it looks great.

sounds like a good idea. but it will be better if there is an attached mirror to help adjust yourself, making sure you are in the picture.
