This is how I carried my camera around the fairgrounds after photographing the rodeo.
I guess to some kids I looked like a YouTuber with a video camera with a large microphone.
When I told them I had 9 1/2 million followers one of them freaked. I felt like doing fake interviews with them.

Thaz kinda typical. I’ve been mistaken for a surveyor just cuz I was using a tripod.

It's really hard when someone presents you a straight line

As “surveyor” I was asked “Something big coming ?” I simply replied “Time will tell.” That avoids being asked to do a wedding.

With a similar rig, Canon 400mm f/5.6L and monopod and shoulder brace I've been stopped twice by police and a swarm of deputies acting on tips of a "gunman" in the park and woods! My daughter fears I will be shot by a fearful citizen.

My favorite carry! I frequently use the MH-100/mono combo.

First a neat way to carry a big rig. As a fake YouTuber I guess you used up your fifteen minutes of fame. Now it’s back to your real job.😀
