Seriously,
I've found it does the job.
Any one else cut there need for a tripod by using a professional's beanbag?

I do it all the time, people are a lot less suspicious / obstructive / annoying if they think you're a bumbling amateur who doesn't know how to use their big toy cameras!!

True, those big white lenses are a bit of a giveaway.
I do now have something a little smaller and more subtle - a 5DMKII.

Yip the dreaded tripod, it means your a PRO and that shot will sell for thousands of pounds !!!

I was over at Bowling during the summer to the canal there, where the person working for the place told me that I was not allowed to take any photos for profit without permission. Out of total curiosity I went on the web site and read up on them, sure enough there was a place to email to get allowed and blah blah... I promptly emailed them, waited a few days, emailed again and then again and still waiting

I also love some places I have been at and not allowed a tripod, yet seen painters sitting painting away and not an eye blinked towards them and yet I know they will be selling those paintings for more than any of my prints would go for lol...
