Good seat/chair? (Page 3): Here's another - but it's a little pricey, and you can't use it when shooting, unless you have two of them.

I have had a chance to use one. Light weight but I felt like it was going to collapse. I stopped using it after an hour.

Yes, but getting up is the hard part

Not very practical for wet weather!

I keep one of these in my car. I got it to ease pain from back and mobility problems and to provide a much-needed seat from time-to-time. It has traveled from Alaska to New York City and points between. It carries not only photo gear, but carry-on bags, suitcases and everything but me (it's not made for pushing people who are seated on it). If you need to sit frequently, I strongly recommend this.

I have the cone collapsible one from Amazon. It’s ok for the price. A 5 gallon bucket carries your gear and you can flip it over and sit on it. In an emergency it becomes a red-neck potty.

If you need arms or some other support to help you stand up, this won't work. It's low, so your legs and knees need to be strong to stand up.

GREAT IDEA. I've had my Drive Nitro Walker for several years. It works great for assisted walking but I've never thought of using it on photo shoots. I just checked, and by Tenba BYOB Insert 10 camera bag fits perfectly inside the Nitro's carrier! Thanks for a great idea!

I use this. Fits nicely in the car...rolls over rough terrain and carries your equipment...one of the best photo accessories I have.

It's missing a commode. 🤣🤣🤣

I use the same approach.

I believe this is what you saw - I bought it a year ago and have found it to be pretty comfortable, though I don't sit in it for long periods of i=tie. And it is quite easy to expand and collapse.

I also got one of these from B&H, cheaper than the Amazon price. Lightweight, collapsible, very happy with it. Useful to seat the photographer or the subject.

I have 2 just like that and I love them. Easy to store and transport. Hold my 250# securely. Got them from one of the home shopping networks--HSN or QVC. Highly recommended

You're probably right.

I have used a three-legged folding stool from REI for 20 years. Light yet strong and easy to carry.
