Thanks for the input! I think I may have come up with the best
option -- a sort of reverse monopod.
A 1/4" bolt through a length of lightweight chain. Run the bolt through
one end of the chain (making sure the link is smaller than the head of
the bolt) -- screw into the camera, step on the other end of the chain
and pull it tight while shooting.
It'll provide a fair amount of stability, and when not being used, can
be carried in a pocket.

tripod, even when using large format, because it removes the flexibility and
slows down the reactions.
I realised many years ago though inspection of my slides at high mag
that tripods apart from often reducing the amount of often useful
experimentation in composition aren't the be all and end all to obtain
optimal sharpness either, especially when working with WA lenses in
good light.
