Walking Cane to Raise Camera Position?
Sometimes I stand on something (like a chair or staircase) while taking vacation photos, to get a different perspective. I've wondered if I could put a tripod screw on a walking stick or cane and use that to elevate the camera above my head.

Walking canes are permitted in carry-on luggage by the TSA, as per http://www.tsa.gov/interweb/assetlib...Prohibited.doc

Camera motion could be a big problem, and a remote release would be a necessity.

Does anyone here have experience with this, or a better way to get a lightweight camera a few feet above your head?

Thank you!
