It essentially allows you to aim your camera like a rifle, with the option of having the remote shutter connected to a trigger.

We get the cops called on us enough spotting around NYC, I can only imagine what someone will think when they see this. ::)

I'm going to buy that just to see what would happen.


We have really strict police down here, so I am wondering if I should...

That is real shooting.


LAX police would arrest you right away even if that is blocks away from the airport. Scary looking. :o

I don't see what the big deal is- I've seen camera grips made from actual rifle stocks... like this one, wielded by famed birdspotter Robert Tory Peterson (photographed by the even-more-famous Eisenstadt).  ;D

The guy who discovered how birds could fly used a similar rig.

That one or a 'Photosniper' (vintage zenit with huge telelens on wooden stock)
