I was using my Canon 6D on a tripod to shoot in Lower Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona, last summer. The combination worked okay for many photos, but because my old Manfrotto 'pod isn't particularly tall, I was frustrated when I wanted to shoot up toward the sky above the canyon walls. I had forgotten to bring my Aputure Gigtube monitor on the trip (http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/141280004090?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82), which would have helped. I tried to use EOS Remote to view the camera's framing on my iPhone, but positioning the camera and holding the phone was too cumbersome. So I used my G1X and its floppy screen, and it allowed me to take this shot, my favorite. In my opinion, it should be possible for companies to engineer fully articulated screens to be rugged enough for "professional use," whatever that means. They don't add that much bulk, and if you don't need them, they stay out of the way. Why not have a functional feature that serves real photographers who shoot a wide variety of subjects?
