It's not for photo buffs; it's for police departments. In no time at all it will become the standard -- every significant crime scene will have to be photographed with one. It will be a very valuable patent.

The reason it will sell is that it will be simple enough for the dumbest cop to use correctly. The instructions will be:

- set up tripod
- attach gizmo to top
- press button
- don't stand in front of camera until it beeps that it's done.

They'll sell a ton of them. Every law enforcement agency will buy at least one, maybe a few. Real estate investors will buy them. Many other govt. agencies, too.
