That's cool :) They should model the handle after a lens tripod collar :) Maybe on a XXL 70-200 cup version thou :)

A shame that it's still a concept design. I was going to buy one on the spot if the price wasn't ridiculous. Definitely an awesome mug to add to my collection of random cool utilities.

Trouble is, with that flange for the lens hood around the lip, the coffee's going to dribble all down your shirt every time you drink from it.   :)

The problem is, if you use it with a tripod, the coffee gets lost ;)

No it doesn't. You put the lens cap on. After all, what else is it for?
