The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for stabilizing tripod shooting platforms. An apparatus according to the present disclosure may comprise a loop strap having a securing means for attaching the loop strap to a tripod shooting platform, an adjustment means for adjusting the length of the loop strap, and a loop for engaging a user's foot and creating tension in the loop strap, thereby generating a compressive stabilizing force on the tripod shooting platform. A method of stabilizing a tripod shooting platform according to the present disclosure may comprise the steps of securing a first end of a loop strap to the tripod shooting platform, adjusting the length of the loop strap, and pulling down on a second end of the loop strap to create tension in the loop strap, thereby generating a stabilizing force on the tripod shooting platform.

An attachable foot assembly designed to be attached to a lower portion of a camera tripod stand leg is provided. The bottom surface of the foot attachment is interchangeable and is chosen depending on the environment in which the tripod is to be used. For example, if the tripod is to be used for lateral movement upon a smooth ground surface (e.g., carpeted floors, hardwood floors, tiled surfaces, natural grass, AstroTurf, etc.), the bottom surface of the foot attachments may be chosen to be wide, convex, and smooth to enable the tripod to smoothly slide laterally upon the surface. In addition, the attachable foot assembly includes a rotatable mount enabling the attachment to fit upon tripod legs at various angles and to move over uneven surfaces.

A ball head based lever clamping device.

A bag specially adapted as a shooting rest with multiple flexible legs extending from the bottom, and handle around the perimeter of the bag, and multiple attachment points for attaching items to the bag or the bag to items. The bag is recloseable and the amount of material in the bag may be adjusted to adapt to a user's preference by adding or removing material through a recloseable opening.
