Hmmm ... A monopod *and* a tripod, all in one package!
Technically, it's a quadpod.

Well, the walker tripod has its virtues for the early old years, but there is a need for a wheel chair tripod. Then later the mobile nursing home bed tripod.

Sad to say. That is exactly what I need. Pneumatic tires instead of solid plastic, though. With an adjustable stabilizer foot at the back?

I do believe there was a pet photographer with the last name of Lane (?) who did all of his photography from a wheelchair. Really tough to keep a creative person down !!

Your son should be very proud for his accomplishment. He is inspiring! Now I need to stop complaining about my stiff joints and slow moving!

I am 71 years old. Don't need it yet, but is a legitimate fear for the future. Also hilarious. Thanks!

Won't work. You need both hands on the walker.

In Dec 0f 2016 I went in for Colon cancer surgery... a few weeks later the flu followed by a Urine Tract Infection. All in all I was hospitalized 14 times plus 43 days in a recuperation facility. I am now on a pubic catheter and a walker (one like the one shown) I have not had a photo shoot since Dec of 16. You may laugh and poke fun at this Rube Goldberg invention but I would love to have one. I am trying to get up enough nerve to start shooting again and this gadget with a remote would be the starter. Where and how can I obtain one. I'm 90 and have been a photog for 20 years. Thanks to whoever came up with this gadget.

You are better off shooting from a chair or bench. You then have full use of your hands.

Not easy for many to carry with them.

I think, judging from many of the replies, that Some haven't quite tumbled to the realization this image was created on April First ??
NOT, mind you, that we MAY yet see it presented on Shark Tank :)
