I was considering buying a tripod (2nd hand as funds permit) and was looking at the manfrotto range for speed and ease. Most are out of my league.
So my parsimonious brain got to work and I removed the old fashioned head from my Velbon and figure it will take a manfrotto head. Progress YAY.
Heads should be cheaper than entire tripod.
Now I am thinking why not get a monopod and I will have the best of both worlds. Sturdy tripod and monopod.
Question then is which of the monopods should I look at starting from the very least and working upwards?
Weighed my camera with my current heaviest lens: 1.6 kilos
Hope all that makes sense.
