The re-designed Xshot is a great accessory for a small digital camera user of any age especially if you are not too tall.  I have taken pictures through the sun roof of my car in strong winds and while moving, but not driving, with great success.  In a crowd, no worries, set the timer about 5 seconds, raise the Xshot and lower it to view! Also, one gets a very different perspective in the shots taken. Need to be seen to be believed.
Much of the time, I have to hand it over to my family because everyone wants to get their hands on it and use it once they see it. Great fun.
