Useless or absurd accessories

I bought a micro camera to clip onto Fluffy's collar to see what she did all day. The camera was set to take an image every 10 seconds. I managed to capture 9 hours of sleeping cat.

I tried it on her outside. She came back without camera and collar. I never found it.
Personal attention! Found lost camera of the cat's neck. :o Watch the video.

Well... why not to tie 1D X with EF 600 to cat's neck next time?

(Or D7 with EF 300 as some forum members insist -- you might get really cool pictures of birds in you neighborhood...)

Brilliant idea ...not at all absurd ;D

No, No, No---" D7 with EF 300 "---Not for Pussy cat, But for the Big Tiger or the king of the jungle , Lion---We can get only the Run away people and small animal, when our helper ( Tiger or Lion) are hungry.
Ha, Ha, Ha.
Nice to talk to you again.
Have a great Tuesday.

So, it could be a general recommendation for bird photographers with 7D + EF 300 in tropical countries:

If you walk through the jungle and suddenly see a Tiger (or Lion) with 1D X + EF 600 looking at you, stay still until he/she/it makes a picture, then run as fast as you can... :)

Mini-softbox for on camera flash...

Tied with the "tripod" that has flexible legs and can supposedly wrap around a fence post or branch. (The brand name has something to do with primates.) Yeah, it might work with a smartphone attached, but not a dSLR of any size or brand.

Both of these things are in my private museum of stupidity--a box in our garage.

keep these they are super awesome for popping on a speedlight to mount on wierd things
