No tripods allowed? Think chainpod.

Google it, people. One can be made for less than $5.00. With a bit of practice, exposures of 1 second + can be made.
One of these was at 1/2 a second, the other at one second (Times Square temporary Ferris wheel).

I've not had much luck with chains and/or strings. I get results like your first image, which has a bit of shake evident in the text and hard edges. The second one is a lot better, but not a substitute for a tripod when the entire image needs to be tack sharp and vibration blur-free.

I tried it 30 years ago, was okay, BUT you have to be steady on your feet, which unfortunately many of us aren't, at this point a tripod is they only way to go!!
Or High ISO and Shutter Speeds and or large f stops (small numbers), which may not give you the desired results!!!

I have a bridge priced to sell. Send a PM for details. Act fast as I expect high demand.

Practice, practice, practice! One needs to learn his/hers best bracing position, and to shoot like a sniper…exhale, hold breath, “squeeze.”
Please note my title. A chain pod is NOT the choice when a tripod is allowed. Also, they are expensive only if you can’t use pliers.

I have made stringpods. I have two right now. They really work to help steady the shot. I got a 1/4"20 eyelet bolt and some rope at a hardware store. It's great when you can't bring a tripod with you.

I figured that but I’ve had results that have been derided while not desired😊

Who needs a tripod? I've tried the chain/cord technique. It works a little. It helps a lot if you are, or have become, naturally shaky.
The rules do prevent tripod feet from touching the floor. I've had very good results by tucking the foot of a shortened monopod behind my belt. It works very well with cameras that have in body stabilization and lens stabilization. One camera I have combines both!
If that's not good enough, there are electronic camera gimbals to hold the camera steady. DJI alone has several, including a new one for phone shooters.
Will heavy tripods become excess baggage?

I have a stringpod in my bag that's never used. Use a monopod instead. Or, if avialable some other steady support
