There may be an answer to that in the Moonshine & Mojohands series (glimpse at about 0:25 in the intro; http://www.moonshineandmojohands.com/)

And just about any other more or less "normal" position. It seems that the size of the instrument removes the need for foot or guitar supports, or a strap.

Nothing high maintenance about a strap indeed. Simple leather strap here too which remains on the guitar. The only things that have me thinking about finding an alternative:
- it's really short, so a bit cumbersome to get in. It's one of those models that don't allow fine adjustment so it's either too long or a tad short.
- Being a tad short means my shoulder and back carry more weight than I'd prefer which isn't ideal.
