I think I mentioned once that I rarely use a tripod, but frequently use
a monopod. Well, I wanted one a bit stouter than what I've been using

I'm going to give it a tryout this weekend, but already I am impressed
with its design, quality of parts, assembly and lever extension
controls. If you want better "nature" shots and you don't want to mess
with a tripod, you might like a monopod.

Oh, and it makes one hell of a nightstick. Smack someone upside the head
with this Manfrotto and he's out for the count. Or even permanently.


What camera?

That looks like the same mono pod I returned when I got the tripod. Hell,
the damn thing is as big as, and weighs almost as much as, a tripod.
