Abstract
The present disclosure relates to apparatus and methods for stabilizing tripod shooting platforms. An apparatus according to the present disclosure may comprise a loop strap having a securing means for attaching the loop strap to a tripod shooting platform, an adjustment means for adjusting the length of the loop strap, and a loop for engaging a user's foot and creating tension in the loop strap, thereby generating a compressive stabilizing force on the tripod shooting platform. A method of stabilizing a tripod shooting platform according to the present disclosure may comprise the steps of securing a first end of a loop strap to the tripod shooting platform, adjusting the length of the loop strap, and pulling down on a second end of the loop strap to create tension in the loop strap, thereby generating a stabilizing force on the tripod shooting platform.
