That would actually be called a stabilizer not a monopod...but good guess.

Fishing line works well, too.

It will be a bit more stable if you stand on it with both feet and knot the end of the string back to the eyehook, thus making a triangular shape. It's even more stable if you keep the cord of the camera around your neck. Also, if you add a few knots to the rope to mark the space between your feet you can keep the height of your camera constant.

but that amount of string would get a little annoying wouldn't it? but it is still a good idea, it would keep it from moving back and forth when you don't want it to, but if you want to take a video, it would limit your movements.

its more of a stabilizer than anything, really

I like it. +1 points for your snappy Instructable. You should enter this in the Pocket-Sized contest. I am going to link to yours from my own tripod entry.

Actually a pretty smart idea. You could like hang the thing to a tree, and your camera will hang there or something. That might not work, I'll have to work on that...

Maybe change it to string pod or something? Not a tripod.
