Mostly I'm looking for reassurance that I'm not the only one who was giggling like a 14 year old at the suggestive design and much of the text and graphics.
Lol, "hey ladies" B-) I had to giggle, too. Keep in mind I followed the link already predisposed. XD
I have a 359-1 long lens support from Manfrotto and it's very similar. I think I can see how I could make it work like that. And it's just 83 bucks new vs. 209 and whatever "discount" the Kickstarter campaign gets you.
I really don't see this ending up in every hitchhiker's let alone every non-hiking photographers bag anytime soon. I bet it will sell for dirt cheap second hand in a few years. It really doesn't seem that convenient and versatile like a monopod with a fishing rod butt rest as mentioned or an actual tripod.
