We have the Disabled Photographers Society over here (U.K.) and I believe they offer all sorts of solutions like this.
Note to U.K. snappers. 2018 photography show is coming up soon, the D.P.S. stand will gladly relieve you of any unwanted equipment that they may be able to repair or resell to further help less abled snappers. I know they can be a pain in the butt to contact, but I've hung onto several pieces this past year - and I'm giving them straight over at the show.

What is needed are wheels and a hand brake especially for BIF's and action photos....Have you applied for a patent yet? 😉😉

Lol , great idea, I just want to see someone use it
I did come up with a mount to be used on a wheelchair for a club member many yrs ago. It looked like a Rube Goldberg but it worked, all he had to do was not move during exposures.

Yet another example of a top heavy rig.

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.

This heavy lens and most telephoto lens have their own foot and are designed to support the camera body.

What a fantastic idea, for 3 years I walked with a cane or walker and my photography was limited to a cell phone. I never thought about doing something like that to my walker on wheels but looking at my walker I believe it could be adapted with some larger hose clamps. Thank you for the great idea.

Now that is creative. I don't know if you are serious or not?? I am part of a Parkinson's Class ( I do not have it) and some of the group use walkers and this would be a great Idea for them. To still allow them the joy of photography.

Good to see your son still has an interest in photography, despite his handicap. He looks great in the photo with his caretaker.

Courage indeed. And if he ever needed even more motivation, a membership in UHH might be just the thing; these folk would really take to him and his work. And he's a Nikon devotee. That's a good thing.
Thanks for sharing.
