[QUOTE="Fortkentdad, post: 345167, member: 24285"] One of the features of my "Transfunctional" Benro Angel is that is trans-funcs to a monopod. Not rocket science. One of the legs unscrews and you can mount the head onto that one leg. Lets you try it either way. If I'm out of a walk the monopod is like a walking stick. Easier to use in crowds too. I've never used it at car shows - I enjoy shooting cars at car shows too - going to one tomorrow. I'll try out the monopod idea there. I think it would aid in getting super crisp shots for HDR purposes. but unlike tripod won't hold that exact frame quite the same - but better than hand held. I'm shooting with older lenses for the most part without VR. To compensate I tend to crank the ISO a bit but on my D610 shooting at 1000 or even a bit higher does not seem to make a noticeable difference in IQ. That will improve shutter speed for that same aperture. Here is a link to a car show I posted on my Flickr photostream a wee bit ago. I was using a Tamron 20-40 on a D610. And it was as you say, just shooting for my own enjoyment - and to share on line with any who care to view. [URL]https://flic.kr/p/omVRQT[/URL] [/QUOTE]
