Questions & Answers

Shopper : What is the difference between a monopod and a tripod?Erica H : A monopod is a single leg, which you can attach to the bottom of the camera. Some also let you attach heads to it. The most obvious difference between tripods and monopods are that you need to hold a monopod in place, whereas a tripod can be left to stand on its own. Because of this, a monopod is less stable than a tripod, but still more stable than hand holding. They’re also lighter and less bulky – so backpackers and hikers like them. A good monopod can also double as a hiking pole. In fact, some hiking poles have the facility to double as a monopod.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?RON C : I got this to help with low light shots while traveling. It performs it's function admirably. It is light and collapses to a length suitable to attach a SLR camera bag. It opens and collapsed with a twist of the wrist. If your technique is good, it's just right for photographing things like Cathedral interiors without the use of a tripod.

Awesome

This is a very well designed little pod and I only wish I'd bought it sooner. It collapses to a tiny package and the barrel locks have a smooth and strong action. It's also super light with all the sexy carbon fiber it sports.
