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!

You could try contacting The Disabled Photographer's Society.

They helped my Dad with an adaptation for his wheelchair.
From their website:

Hey @alggomas My husband is a professional photographer and he recommended this Magic Arm.
- This is a professional 11" articulating arm perfect for mounting LED lighting, LCD monitors or flash lighting etc
- Designed to be precise and durable with locking control knobs to release and increase the tension which can give all position movement
- Ideal clamp for photographic applications like camera support, lighting, car rigs and many more.
- Can be fix onto any shaped body such as: water pipes, handrails, doors, shelves, tables, branches, wires, etc.
- The maximum length is approximately 285mm and has a load capacity of 2kg
