The Manfrotto 055XPROB. You can get this combo deal for $300 as well... It adds a decent ballhead and a couple QD plates which you're going to want/need anyway.I picked up a monpod and now looking for a decent tripod? Have the D7100 with grip

Was just seeing what the % was of using a tripod or monopod VS. just holding your camera? I suppose it would have to do what your shooting.

Funny I thought about how when I was young with my 35mm film equipment, I would ALWAYS bring my tripod with me and it wasn't a small or light tripod either. That's because I always shot Kodachrome 25 or 64 ASA and so for most shots it was very necessary to have that stability as camera shake was a constant issue. The equipment available these days is SO NICE in that regard.
Studio shots - 100% tripod
Outdoor - Varies with subject. Probably 50/50. If it's something I can take my time to shoot, I'll use a tripod.
I have an El Cheapo monopod that I bought @ Walmart. I think I've used it a handful of times: once to photograph a waterfall and only because carrying one more piece of gear through that trail probably would've given me a heart attack. The other times were on the sidelines of sporting events.
For me, the optimal shooting condition would be:
- Tripod
- Wireless
- Laptop/tablet
- Control camera remotely via app

Do you only shoot for friends?
