This thing is one of the most useful accessories I've ever had. It is really small, so you can always have it handy.
You can set it on nearly anything and easily level it up.
You can bend it around railings, tree limbs, etc.
The only thing it doesn't have is extendible legs and I can't think of a time I have ever needed those.

I got one of those too, works great for my point 'n shoot type cameras but not with my D70 not nearly sturdy enough.
As for carrying my D70 I got a nice padded tank bag that straps and is magnetic with a lower and upper bag unit. I pad the lower part then put my D70 in the top part. that way it is easy to get to while on the road plus i can remove the upper bag when i leave the bike as I would not leave that much equipment when I can't see the bike. Mine is a Joe Rocket 2 piece that I got for around 100 clams. I used some velcro dividers from one of my camera bags to make some compartments for camera and lens so they don't move around and other stuff in there doesn't bang against the camera. Works great.
