It sounds like Vasile and I at least sometimes think alike :-)

I discovered this some years ago while cooking :-).
Here the material I'd recommend is what we call Cornflour.

I was thinking just a few days ago, after having encountered an ad for 
the "Monsterpod" camera support, that a contained cornflour mix MAY 
make a suitable mouldable base for a camera support. Able to be shaped 
but rigid against the camera weight. Quite how one would manage this 
in detail is "yet to be determined" :-)
