Darn it! Now you have me thinking that maybe I should get into photography and start taking pictures of gardens and flowers etc.. A few minutes googgleling images brought up a whole slew of ideas. It would be very easy to rig a mouth trigger for a camera, but of course I would have to use a automatic zooming camera to get up close. Thanks for the idea,
Greg, something to think about during these cold winter months coming.

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. From: Lori Michaelson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2016 9:14 PM To: quad-list Subject: [QUAD-L] QUAD-L] Camera? 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. ~Lori On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 8:59 PM, greg <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: 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.
