Does anyone use one, and do you find them any good? Is there one you'd recommend? :?

MyPix · 05-06-2005, 14:17

well i'm jiggered,

i am lookin at getting one to, after goin to silverstone on friday

i was gona get a new tripod, but i think i will be better off with a monopod, as its usefull for other things ( walking stick, fending off unwanted atention and robbers, lol )

was lookin at either a manfrotto or a bilora,
any good ?

I quite like the look of this one - it seems very versatile.

to be honest i'm surprised, i'm sure the BIN price should have been £15.99, or maybe £25.99 ??
but i'm not gona complain, lol

I've had that exact monopod for must be 10-12 years, it's very lightweight, and quite tall which is good since I am too

it does not however have a quick release head. Very simple and straighforward to use though, recommended.
