I need a 'shooting stick'...
What I need is a shooting stick, no not that sort of shooting, our sort of shooting. A seat combined with a tripod would be ideal and if it could also be used to aid walking even better. 
As someone who often uses her Monopod as a walking stick a tri with a seat would be at the top of my to buy list, and if you could actually sit whilst taking a shot so much the better.
Once found myself, in Sicily, being ushered out of the queue for the Ladies loo and the disabled toilet being unlocked for me because I was leaning on my Monopod a bit heavy,
so in case the tripod does not work so well as a queue jumping tool may be a built in commode as well, no, being silly but a photographers shooting stick would be great, or does one exist already.

Snaps I hope you find what you are looking for, the commode part cracked me up.
I have never seen a tripod with a seat, I shall keep my eyes open for one

Lol sounds an ideal bit of kit, with a flask and sandwich holder too!

There is a trolley we use for showing called The Chairman, it is like a shopping trolley with a seat and some hooks on the side that you can use for a golfing umbrella. I am wondering if the bag could be padded and some sort of steady fitted to the hooks. If so this would be a good bit of kit but not for walking you still need a stick for that.
