Re: Thinking of getting a Monopod
I have a Manfrotto 079 monopod with a Slik SBH-100 ball head. I also have a Benro MP-68 M8 monopod with a head of unknown origin.
It's old, but still works like a charm.....smaller and lighter than the Manfrotto. I could not see myself without either of them. They both have their place in my arsenal of gear.

I'm such a cheapskate that I use my tripod as a monopod. Although a little heavier than a monopod, it works just fine.

I have the Sirui P-326 carbon fiber mono pod. Weighs less then a pound without the ball head. I'm using a 3Pod H1 ball head. Great combo. Love how it stabilizes my camera

I have the same thing. I only use it when I shoot football and baseball games. Tripods are not allowed around the field but the umpires allow monopods.

Steve saved me a lot of typing. ^^^ What he said!!! ^^^
But just so I contribute something, I also have a MeFOTO Roadtrip, which is a great compact tripod that also converts to a monopod. $189 for the aluminum model, complete with ball head. I use mine all the time - it's relegated my Manfrotto tripod to studio work or the backseat of the car. I don't use it as a monopod that often, but it's nice to have that function. I prefer the Manfrotto as a pure monopod, and it makes for a sturdier walking stick.Last edited by BackdoorArts; 03-04-2014 at 12:58 PM.

I've rarely used my monopod...mostly for sports photography, since tripods usually aren't allowed on the sidelines. It's probably the least-used piece of gear in my arsenal.
That said, my monopod is the one remaining thing that I've never upgraded to "pro" level. I got mine @ Walmart for about $20-30, and see no need to sink money into an upgrade.
