[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 304486, member: 12198"] I keep a monopod in my vehicle just in case :) Its easy to take when going for a walk and doubles as a walking stick LOL However when doing nighttime long exposures or close up work I need a good solid tripod. I asked this same question not long ago and can say start with a good tripod. Don't cheap out, do some research there are lots of great threads on here and save your money while researching :) I bought used and it was still pricey but I'm supper happy with both my tripod and monopod. Your next Question will be "which head?" and well there's lots of threads on here with great info on those too :) Depends on what kind of shooting you do and how much $$$ you can save up but don't cheap out or you'll be buying again and shudder at the thought of tripod dropping my lens or camera EEK!
