Pretty cool feature, but I'd be worried someone might see a bulge under my untucked shirt from that hanging off my belt.Divided Attention wrote:I have a monopod and it has proven to be a great asset! Lives in the car usually, and doesn't get in the way like a tripod can - especially at crowded events with a lot of parental paprazzi (or however you spell that) running around with eyes only for Jr. Also hangs from a belt loop with a small caribiner leaving hands free when needed like is often necessary at livestock events.

(sorry, couldn't resist)
I have, or had several late 1800s/early 1900s cameras, inherited from grandparents, know I have several large boxes of old high-end Canon and Minolta SLRs, lenses and accessories, including infra-red flashes and photocell remote slaves, and had a Fresnel lens megaphone type setup to aim an infrared flash about 2-blocks away; which I used 35 years ago as a licensed Private Investigator, but when digital arrived, my hobbies changed and I just got a waterproof capable of underwater pics/movies type camera for kayak fishing .. I'll admit I prefer "Manually" setting everything, shutter speed/F-stop though. I never have cared for the auto programmed settings. I understand what image I want as a result from a given instant/situation, better than the programmer does. Like sometimes I may want to overexpose the film slightly, and underexpose the paper .... I guess I could throw out/sell my old stuff and get back into photography, buy all new equipment and editing programs... but I haven't.
Right now I just have a bunch of very large boxes of equipment in a shed; I sold a few "oldies" on e-bay several years back, but the majority didn't attract buyers/collectors because most people are shopping for "new" stuff.
