My camera is hanging from a tree!

But seriously it is. See the picture.

Gorillapod

You must have heard of Tripods and monopods for cameras. Now Joby has come out with the aptly named Gorillapod. I guess they call it that for its strength and the unique ability to hang from branches…To fix up a tripod, you need to have terra-firma, but the gorillapod firmly secures your camera to just about anything - anywhere and everywhere! Screw this lightweight, flexible tripod to the base of any SLR camera (or even compact point-and-shoots) and get shots you’d usually have to skip using cumbersome standard-size sticks. It’s brawny enough to hold a camera steady even for vertical shots and has a quick release plate for fast and easy setup.

It comes in 2 variants - the lighter gorillapod for compact cameras, and the heavier, stronger gorillapodslr for holding up SLRs.
