In my left hand, a fully-charged SB (Nikon Flash), set to 1/1 (full) power and zoomed out (narrowest focus). Thumb on the test button too. In my right hand, a heavy Gitzo monopod (basically a big ass pipe), strapped onto my wrist and hand on the grip.
Basic strategy:
1. ***POP***
2. Whoppity, whoppity, whoppity, whoppity…
3. Rinse and repeat as needed.
Never had to use it, but it always made me feel a little more like Joe Don Baker when I needed it.

I’ll have to remember this strategy the next time I’m in a questionable place late at night with nearly $3,000 worth of photo equipment.
