Photography

Dominique

Hi Kim, i used to do photography at Hereward College using a metal bar in front of me on my electric wheelchair which held the camera for me and a remote control to move the camera left, right, up and down. It was an old camera, not digital. I now want to do some photography again, and i was wondering if i could get some similar assistive technology for photography today? Digital or not would be fine.

Hi Dominique, 

There's loads of great options for mounting a camera to either your chair or for use on your body, here are a few:

• SteadiArm for Cameras
• Manfrotto Magic Arm Kit
  
• Chest Mount Harness
  

There is a great little charity called DPS (Disabled Photographers’ Society) and they have a dedicated Equipment Co-ordinator who will discuss your needs with you and decide on the best equipment to use. I'm not sure if this is a free service as they do have a membership fee (as little as £10) but perhaps it would be worth checking out the website? 

Let me know how you get on
