[QUOTE="Nikonitus, post: 674132, member: 10962"] Cheers Hark, I don't do a 'lot' of monopod work but it's nice top have one when you go walk-abouts. My favourite venue was actually a racetrack (cars and bikes) and I have carried cameras (back then it was a D300, then D600,, now D750) and Manfrotto monopod(s) around the track many times. Even though you can see the whole track from a grandstand, actually walking around it soon shows how much longer they are at ground zero. I "almost" got tempted by the carbon fibre unit but as I said, in the end I opted for aluminium instead. Either way, I know from experience than when you decide to walk around armed with only the camera, then you all of a sudden wish you had have brought along a monopod, whether it's ali or fibre, you then realize the value of one.
