Mainly for those of us who are less agile nowadays (read old)
I go to a few events like air shows, folk festivals but toting a load of camera gear, and having to stand much of the time tends to discourage ones attendance, so this is how I now go about it

I presume the idea could be adapted to other pursuits, maybe show jumping or some sports where you will be in the same position for the duration of the event. If there is going to be quite a bit of quick movement over a distance e.g. air shows, track racing, field sports/games etc then a monopod will be better than a tripod. It all fits in the car, and probably on a bus as well, some baby buggies are bigger!
The rollator (walking aid with seat) is also handy for shopping - not so much at supermarkets (they already have trolleys) but along the high street or mall.
