While testing the shoulder stock on my monopod, I tried some slower speeds 
to see if I could hold the camera still.  One such shot caught a gray 
squirrel digging for buried acorns, and, at 1/40 second, he showed that he 
has his entire body in motion, not just the forelegs.

400, 1/40 at f/5.6, RAW

I think that with better light, the Stock will definitely help.

Comments and critiques welcomed.
