Just got my 7d about a week ago and I've been trying various stabilization tricks. I'll have to give this one a shot.
Another one that I discovered was taking an extremely cheap plastic monopod, extending it about 2 or so feet, and then putting the bottom end into my side pocket on my pants (make sure to wear a belt
). With the monopod wedged in your pocket, it makes it awkward to do much walking, but shots seem to stabilize a bit better than just the monopod against the ground, since you kinda lean it away from your body to get better leverage. Works well considering the monopod was like $15.
(I'll try to get a picture of the set-up, as reading this back to myself I'm not sure I painted the clearest picture).
