Quikpod to the Rescue! Simply mount your camera on the Quikpod, set the timer on your camera to 3 or 10 seconds, extend the Quikpod, look into its small mirror below (so the camera will actually capture you and not someone else) and wait for the timer to go off. It is that easy. Sure, it looks dorky, but if it works for you, why not?

Quikpod also released a bigger, sturdier version for a DSLR. The new Quickpod DSLR can do double-duty as a monopod.
