[QUOTE="Phillydog1958, post: 72256, member: 8704"] I was about to make an investment in a Manfrotto monopod and ballhead, but went to the local Bestbuy last week and found this: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/Rocketfish-Carbon-Fiber-Monopod-RF-MONO70C/dp/B004FH56VW"]Amazon.com: Rocketfish 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod RF-MONO70C: Camera & Photo[/URL] It's got mixed reviews. Some love it. Some hate it, but it's working for me, so far. I researched it and concluded that there were more positive reviews than negative.
