Zaknafein said:ahh, ack, sorry. i meant ballhead
mybad.
Zaknafein said:yeah, i feel ballheads are better suited for monopods too since 1 of reason for using monopod rather than tripod is flexibility. pan-tilt heads is too much hassle since the monopod issnt even stable in the first place.
gotta visit shop and have a look soon!
If like this then maybe you can get a cheap quality monopod since you dun need to use it to support like 10kg of stuff.Zaknafein said:i doubt i will be upgrading to DSLR...
budget being the main problem
Eh but I got both.eikin said:at 750g why don't you just use your tripod like a monopod? just don't open up the legs lor
this will be my suggestion to TS too..DemonicAngelz said:Just look around and get some support can already right? :think:
It adds more weight for you to carry about..

Yah cause a decent quality monopod is already heavier than your camera :bsmilie:eikin said:what kind of tripod are you using now? those cheap and light ones? if it's so that'll be quite enough a support already, don't waste time and money looking for a monopod
yeah, thats my intention after i take a look at the shopsDemonicAngelz said:If like this then maybe you can get a cheap quality monopod since you dun need to use it to support like 10kg of stuff.
well, its kinda troublesome to bring it out :sweat: blame it on my laziness! furthermore, its more convenient to lug around a monopod than tripod when moving around taking pictures.eikin said:at 750g why don't you just use your tripod like a monopod? just don't open up the legs lor

I feel that tripod carry around very mafan leh.. and is extremely mafan that kind :think:
Like sporting events you walk around carry one huge tripod already use up so much time..
Actually at 750g.. Do you even need a monopod..
Just look around and get some support can already right? :think:

Zaknafein said:yes its those cheap ones, but not light
and it doesnt feel stable with 1 leg cos its quite thin
i wouldn't say its a good tripod hahaha
i will be looking at monopods with weight of 0.5kg or less but have to depends on pricing too.DemonicAngelz said:Yah cause a decent quality monopod is already heavier than your camera :bsmilie:
So why buy something to double the weight you have to carry? :dunno:
