A week on Saturday we go on hloiday up to the cottage we always go to at Loch Sunart (West Scotland).
As Karen likes to bury herself in her books I get a free pass for all the photography I can shake a stick at and being right on the shoreline I'm out all the time.
Anyway 2 weeks ago I did my arm in and after a day or so in hospital I was set free with the diagnosis 'radial nerve palsey'. At the moment I don't have any feeling or use of my right hand (no jokes) and recovery is expected to take upwards of 12 months.
As this is going to be a long term thing I'm obviously thinking about what I can do to make life a little easier and that certainly includes photography.
Landscape photography is really my passion so providing I take my time I can still manage to get the tripod set up etc etc.
At the moment I use this head.........
.......but it is proving to be a fiddle and 40D hand held is impossible.
so for starters I was contemplating getting one of these although I want it set up left handed.........can this be done before I order as I would struggle to do it myself.
or one of these......

Strange request I know but first up I was wondering if anybody had any views on which was best and secondly I just wanted to ask if anybody had any other bright ideas that would make life a little easier ?
PS
I also wondered about a cable release but wasn't sure which one.
