What are the advantages of using a monopod?
Either when traveling or at home, monopods are the perfect solution for improving the quality of the pictures you take when a tripod isnt available. As with a tripod, a monopod gives you a good solid base for your digital, photographic or video camera, which allows for clearer, crisper printed photos and smooth non-jumpy video recordings. There are many advantages to using a monopod. They are convenient, compact, and lightweight and since it is a single leg, set up is quick and easy. When traveling or on vacation, they can easily fit into a suitcase, briefcase, and larger size camera bags.In a crowded area where it would be impossible to use a tripod because of the area needed to spread the legs out, a monopod fits the bill.Use it when recording the game from the stands at your local high school stadium, or from your seat when watching your childs first dance recital. Be certain to choose the right model.For shooting images on a horizontal axis a monopod without a head will work well.T
