A bean bag may be worth having in your kit bag too.

Absolutely.
One thing I enjoy doing is night photography.
For example, the steelworks. At night it looks absolutely incredible. It's lit up like a Christmas tree. I'd love to get some shots of it at night without the need for high ISO... Of course that's not the only photo subject demanding this type of setting.
