A friend just bought a camera stick, a telescope stick with a camera mount on top. That is so cool. Then I saw this video and just knew I had to get me one of those before my New York trip.

Update: Just ordered a camera stick! Or a “stainless steel handheld monopod” as they say over at Dealextreme. For $11 they can call it whatever they want. I just hope China Mail gets it here in time.
