Tactical photography? Combat camera is about as tactical as photography gets and we'd never use anything like this. Regular old cameras are just as fast for the "operator" to "deploy" and have the added advantage of controls that are actually designed for ergonomic operation - instead of pressure switches Velcroed to mismatched stocks and handgrips.

Seems it would be a good use of a recycled stock if you have time to play and want to create. But the Bushhawk http://www.bushhawk.com/about_us.html has been out there for awhile.

Personally, its more bulk and weight IMHO. I don't know that I need that stability anyway.
