There are several ways to secure your point-and-shoot to other objects. If you're on a budget, duct tape or Blu-Tack might do the trick, but most shutterbugs prefer the popular Gorrillapod. However, Hong Kong gadget maker Brando has a more affordable alternative.

The Action Mount is a combination of two Velcro straps and a card-like tripod which looks suspiciously like the Manfrotto Modo Pocket we saw previously. Attach your point-and-shoot to the Brando gizmo and then use the 29cm-long Velcro straps to wrap around bicycle handles or railings.

So how secure is the Action Mount? As long as you don't use it with a dSLR, it should hold up pretty well with a compact camera. Shown in the picture is the mount with a Canon PowerShot G9, which is not exactly the lightest snapper around.

The Action Mount is available on Brando's Web site for US$11. Would you use the Action Mount to secure your point-and-shoot? Sound out below.
