The bag that Crown Royal comes with works well when filled with dried peas.
Do NOT use the bag in which your current bottle is stored. Use one (maybe two - one inside the other). Put your peas in plastic bags so as not to crush the velvet. Take an old, but fuzzy, towel if you MUST lay your precious bean bag(s) own. Also include a proximity alarm. Crown Royal bags are targets for thieves; as to the reason, I have no clue. Crown Royal is, after all, a mere Canadian blend; it isn't as if it was an 18 year old Single Malt Scotch.

Lots of interesting ideas here. I still think the best solution is a monopod. Those restrictions in churches are to prevent you from disturbing the service (flash) or impeding traffic (tripod). A monopod held in front of you takes up no floor space and will not impede traffic. Besides that you can lean on it while going up for communion.

Wish my good tripod only weighed 2 lbs :-) It weighs in at 15 lbs and I have had it since 1980. but then I got it for a 8x10 view camera and can hold that in a hurricane. A good tripod is a must with long telephotos.

Another thing that helps me when shooting stationary objects handheld is to set the camera to 2 second delay. It avoids the tiny bit of shake that occurs when pushing the shutter button.
