hello all,
I'm looking at options for a monopod for my RTSIII-I've lookedat a few, mainly, manofrotto. Be good to have some advice from you all who have experience with monopods, as i have none - naturally i want as it light and compact as possible, but still useful. I'd like to strap it to my camera bag. I don't take landscapes, but rather need it for steadying shots, such as speeds of .30 to about 2 seconds - low light/portraiture /atmospheric shots. Queries i have:
1. is the 276 junior monopod stable enough for this?
2. carbon versus the aliminium pods - i am thinking about the carbon 449 vs 679 (4section) - quite a price difference between the two - is it worth it?
3. the gitzopod - does it still exist - cannot find one to look at in shops (the UK)
I'm aware that monopods were discussed earlier, but could not find the thread, and did not seem to answer the questions i have.
thanks,
marc.
