I do sometimes use one as an "electronic thumb" and to balance a
heavier lens when handholding, and then I may need to use the same
body on a tripod. The instructions say not to remove the winder
with film in the camera, because of the risk of light leaks.
(It doesn't say what to do should the camera's button cells die.)

Thank you all for your prompt answers to my questions.
