I am recovering from back surgery and will need this type of equipment to get some things accomplished not necessarily photography.

The bench I found is the same as yours I think- does it weigh about 7 pounds?

Thanks for the post. I realized that I had one of those and I dug it out. Getting up off the ground has become extremely difficult, and no one around to help me up. Thanks again👍

This seems like something I could use in as much as I often photograph alone. My question is, how do you carry this device? Have you fastened straps so that it can be carried on the back or onto your camera bag?

It's designed for garden work and comes with a tool pouch you can to it.

(Gasp) Work? Did you say work Don't you know 'work' is a four letter work that should never be uttered in the presence of a retired person? That word could send them into shock or worse. But yeah, I tried it both ways, I sat on it in front of my favorite orange tree and shot bees. Sure beats to heck out of standing.

Original Post

I don't understand what happened but somewhere along the way I've gotten old. I am a hunter for as long as I can be although I am setting up a macro studio. I can no longer get down on one knee, let alone two knees or prone, and get up again without help. Are there any devices or methods that will allow me to continue to shoot ground level subjects for a while longer?

I got my Garden Kneeler today and it's everything I hoped for. It is relatively light and of course it folds up into a compact package. Does not require assembly It allows me to kneel within 3 inches of the ground and leaning forward I can almost reach a prone position. It is sturdy enough to allow me to lever my 240 pounds back to a standing position safely.

Thank all of you who suggest this and other methods for me to try.
