Photographers - what is the one thing you wish existed?

So when I was writing my blog post about how I have a medical condition which means wearing a normal camera strap causes me extreme pain so I found alternatives, I started thinking about how photographers, in general, do put our bodies under some stresses that don’t come with any alternatives.

The one thing I wish existed right now?

A TILTED EVF EYEPIECE FOR A CANON R5

Yes, there’s a screen that does pretty much the same, BUT on a film set if you don’t want any light whatsoever then using the screen can be a bit of a dangerous game to play, could get you kicked off the set. Quite often I’m crouched somewhere, in a corner, being as quiet as possible. My legs are used to this, my feet are getting there but still sulk with me when I get up. My neck though, mentioning the issues above, cricking my neck for this long is not just a bit of a pain, it literally causes extraordinary pain for me.

For me it’s a simple reason, I guess for street photographers it would be handy too! But I’m aware there is not going to be a big demand for this so it’s unlikely it’ll ever happen but man, I wish it did! (If anyone know’s of something that would work LET ME KNOW AND I’LL BUY IT)

So fellow photographers, what do you wish existed?
