I cannot walk comfortably for any reasonable distance especially with my camera. I use a scooter.
Is there a disabled photographer out there who has adapted their scooter to hold a camera and lens ready to shoot. ( Not storage).
Thank you.

I don't know about anything specifically for scooters, but my husband has a gorillapod camera clamp that attaches to lots of different surfaces.Scope

Good suggestion.
Yes I have one but only suitable for lightweight cameras, and not sure if the vibrations would loosen it. I am sure there are pipe clamps available which could be DIY 'd. -
I will ask on twitter for you and post any replies here!Scope
