So I received mine from Amazon today. Four soccer games to shoot. I’ll follow up with my thoughts.

For what, the link or the smart ass comment? 🖕. I was asking for people thoughts on it as seat for shooting events. Maybe someone had used one before. But hey, great to hear from you. Lol. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have one of these. It is VERY light weight.

I have a 31 in inseam an this is the right height for macro photography. I also have a 65 cm one that is fine when I don't need to touch the ground.

I’ve been looking at various styles of small, portable chairs do use from time to time. Bad back and replaced hips don’t always work well with 3-4 games a day. Anyways I was at a local college soccer game and saw the following chair. It looks pretty good. Curious if anyone else has use this or something similar during their shoots.


I have one like that. Found at Amazon

Check out this link- there are dozens of various makes and modes listed and links to all the suppliers and retailers that carry them.

This one works great for me

UPDATE/REVIEW: So I went ahead and purchased the seat and used it for a few weekend tournaments. Having something for 6 to 7 games for a weekend certainly helped, I’m not gonna say it’s the most comfortable thing.
It really does fold up nicely and packs away small. Many people commented on its unique style. It was strong and sturdy as I leaned and tilted on uneven grass. I’m 200lbs and it says it’s rated for 400. So for those reasons I’d say it’s a decent buy.
My one complaint it that the photos on Amazon are kinda misleading. They show a large pad/cushion, when in reality, the cushion is just the unused carrying case, which is flat as a pancake. So unless you want to carry around extra padding, it’s basically just a carry case.
Hope this helps.

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


That’s an excellent recommendation, whether one actually needs a walker or not. Not sure about it’s capacity to haul large heavy camera gear safely, but certainly it’s a wonderful idea.
I usually just haul one of those folding cloth chairs. I suppose one could also use a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket to haul their gear and also use it as a seat.
