DIY or camera tripod/ shelf adaption for my scooter

alggomas

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.

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.

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
