I wanted to ask ... What use is a monopod? I mean when do you choose to use it, over your tripod?
Also, what features do they have? Sonsey said he doesn't need all the bells + whistles, but what "bells + whistles" can a monopod have 
And do they come with heads, or do you have to buy one separately?
If separately, will any head fit on any monopod?
Enlighten me please  |
I have two monopods, a Giottos and a
Manfrotto MN682B (which is the same as J Sotelo's).
Both have mini fold out legs that you can use 'in an emergency' or as light stands for flash guns.
When I do running events, a monopod is
vital. A typical 10K will take about an hour for everyone to pass through a particular point. 300 - 600 runners and anything from 2000 - 4000 frames = tired arms
with a monopod
. There is no way you could do that handheld
