It is a technique that basically locks you into static subjects which can stand making multiple exposures over a minute or two as you swap equipment around, and also carries the cost of having to lug around yet another camera. Seems less than appealing to me. I usually carry the minimum of gear, and particularly when I'm carrying a largish and heavy camera to begin with.
