Flymounts don't grow on trees - but they work on branches!

During a little shoot in the Languedoc region of France we were by a sparkling river cutting through the limestone near Minerve when we needed a shot from a position that precluded a tripod.
Flymount to the rescue, the little Panansonic GH1 we were using, with the wonderful hack by Vitaliy Kiselev, was easily supported on the usefully round branches of the local trees.
Cameras like the GH1-4 and the Olympus micro 4/3rds are fine in static situations and sometimes it's only a fixing like a Flymount that gets you into the great positions. Just don't expect them to work on a roll bar on a racing track!
See our Papua New Guinea shots for how they work in the jungle and on the rivers.

Here are some shots from the day:
