I was considering getting a camera once. I had a bracket on my prior wheelchair 
which was intended attach a tray. I figured I could rig up some sort of a way 
to attach a camera, which I could aim by steering the wheelchair and by leaning 
forward and backwards. And I found a device used trigger the shutter remotely, 
and it looked like something which I could attach to my wrist splints and bite 
on to take the picture. I never tried it. But maybe that, or something similar, 
could work. Good luck.

That is one of the things I miss the most (photography). My husband was an avid 
photographer and three of the best of the best digital cameras (first a Kodak 
purchased in 1998, then an Olympus... both of which were big and bulky which 
were okay for him and I can't hold a camera anyway). I finally got after him to 
purchase a smaller sized digital camera and he finally purchased a Canon that 
he was able to keep in his T. shirt pocket. It took/takes great videos as well.

 

Anyway, my point is that I can't hold I camera at all so I always have to have 
someone take photos for me which doesn't happen anymore. My life has become one 
big medical problem. Further, after purchasing my first Smart Phone when living 
at my sister's... that takes just as good of pictures so family members took 
pictures for me using that.

 

I would love to know how people with only the use of one arm and one wrist take 
photos by themselves without some elaborate system. I need to be able to drive 
my chair and be able to turn it (my chair and the camera) every which way to 
take photos of anything when out and about by myself.

I had a really nice Canon EOS SLR film camera, but it got frustrating, too 
heavy, film got so costly to develop, etc. But now I thought of trying a nice 
digital. Not a point and shoot. I read some can be operated by Phone App. 
Anyone have a setup that a C5 could use. Any ideas?

 

I like the idea of a video screen back, so I don't have to hold up to my face.

Lighter than my big Canon A2, basically worthless now.

Instead of clamping to chair making it to aim. I thought monopod ballenced on 
my seat.

 

Thanks, Greg
