Hmmm ... A monopod *and* a tripod, all in one package!
I think a new term might be appropriate? The QuadruPod.

Basil, you're a clairvoyant. I was out in the woods today, navigating relatively uneven (read: dicey) terrain, lugging my 10 lbs. of gear - monopod, ball head, and my 70-200 2.8 mounted on my D7100. I was struck by the thought that what I really needed at that point was my walking sticks. Then I thought, well you know........
So tonight I reckon I'm gonna dream about your contraption. So far it's the only solution.
Thanks.

Not a monopod, that would be a quad-pod. Where can we get one. ??????? LOL

Nice Photoshop :) :)
Dunno if Nikon would recommend the Lens supporting the body though ??
Clever thought though - - got a chuckle and realized may not be too many years B4 I'm building myself one of those.

My son was an outstanding photographer prior to an industrial accident that rendered him a permanent quadraplegic at age 39.
A sad story indeed and I'll omit the details but upon his extremely limited recovery he has found a way to continue his passion for photography. He uses a CamRanger on a custom mount on his power-wheelchair and uses a smart phone to control the camera.
Using this setup, he has taken many superlative photos and has made me a very proud dad of this courageous young man. He is still an outstanging photographer with unique creative vision.
Cheers to all, chase

Glad your son is able to still pursue his passion for photography. I would be very proud of him too.
Maybe you could post some of his images here. Would really like to see some of his work.
will
