A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

In the USA, that would likely get you shot by law enforcement at some point...

Tim's right! I remember seeing these shoulder stocks back in the sixties in Pop Photo. Jason O'dell has a new design for one although I haven't seen any recent emails on it. And it looks a little less like a weapon. I wonder if the gadget makes more sense now that we can shoot digital at high iso's? They probably didn't work real well for Kodachrome asa (iso) 25. Something else to schlep around in the field?

I wouldn't take that to Washington DC to photograph monuments.

Put a long lens on it and try to photograph monuments from a distance. ; )

That would probably draw more attention.

In the sixties you would only get in trouble if you tried to use it on a beach! IIRC, there was even a PopPhoto mirrored gadget for the end of your lens that let you photograph at a ninety degree angle so your intended target was not obvious. Have no idea if any of these things actually worked or not.

Jason O'Dells product is called BIF Bulls Eye. I call it an updated shoulder stock.

There is a Ytube video on it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYxrkcUmOFU

In about an hour or so my wife and I will head off on an organized birding field trip here in Tucson. I can almost count on seeing a retired MD showing up with something similar to that using a Canon 7DMKII and a Tamron 150-600mm lens.

I agree with E.J. though, I would be extra careful showing up with one of these in a lot of places.
