And you can take them on trips with you, empty and weightless, and fill them up with beans when you get where you are going. In a pinch, you could cook the beans and eat them. I'm all in favor of bean bags. Zip lock bags work fine, but you can also make your own cloth bags with velcro at the top. Just leave them about half empty to be more flexible. I've often grabbed a handful of beans and wrapped them in a Domke wrap for a makeshift bean bag. Works great! Better than tabletop tripods. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
