forgot to add to this that you can also make a large string loop with nut tied in . then went its attached simply put both feet in the loop spread feet apart so it forms a kind of inverted v and this will make for a very steady camera , try both these out they honestly work and are so much easier to carry and position than a tri or mono pod

Besides the tips already given, I don't think that upping the ISO speed on the camera was mentioned. This may be a way around the inevitable problem at a model show where setting up a tripod is simply not practical and also a trip hazard to other show goers. At most shows we have to hand hold a camera so upping the ISO value will make the shutter speed faster. The trade off unfortunately may be a bit of grain on film or noise on digital. Most of us have digital cameras nowadays so just experiment a bit with the ISO settings to see what is acceptable, as well as setting the white balance to suit the lighting. Most compacts have relatively slow zoom lenses, but do have ISO and white balance adjustment, so use these to try to overcome the camera shake. I used to lug bagload of SLR cameras and lenses around with me. Not any more since investing in a good digital compact that i can simply stuff into my pocket.
