Experiences with packing, carting and using on bike trips?
I'm getting one of these.
It's called the Pod. I would rather have the flexibility of shooting from almost anywhere.I was gonna suggest one of those. I think Sunpak makes a competing brand. I have one for the Poin n shoot but haven't used it.
Another idea is a bean bag type device to place on a surface. I believe Bogen offers a tripod head that can connect to a clamp. At least I know they have something like that for a reflector/lightstand.

Does that imply you bought for 'her'?I did get a camera RAM-mount at the MC show.
Only thing I bought for me.

I don't own one of these, but I was traveling with a friend last month who raved about theirs: http://www.rei.com/product/749128
Nifty little wrap-around legs and compact size. It seemed to be fairly abuse-tolerant too (backpack friendly).
Yes, they do have different sizes for different weight cameras.These come in different sizes. I bought what is probably the smallest size and it doesn't have the strength to hold up my old Nikon CoolPix. It does manage the lighter "pocket cameras" fine, though.
as I'm taking more and more panorama photos.
