[QUOTE="STM, post: 309814, member: 12827"] I am not really sure what you are asking here. The percentages you will use freehand/monopod/tripod will depend on any number of factors like the kind of photography you do and what times of the day or night you like to shoot. For macro work they are almost a necessity Also, if you shoot a lot of moderately slow (ASA100) film like I do tripods may be necessary depending on light levels or depth of field requirements. Tripods can be cumbersome and heavy whereas monopods are much lighter though not as steady.
