A much more practical method is to use a "monopod" - basically a leg
that connects the same way as a tripod, but it only has one leg, which
is more or less fixed in place. When taking a photo, plant the leg on
the ground, hold the camera steady in 2 dimensions instead of 3, and
click away! The monopod provides one axis of stability, and removes the
load on your hands - thus the shakiness is from fine motor rather than
load carrying.
And it's a lot less bulky than a tripod with a bunch of lead weights
attached ;)
