monopod can give stability for up down moment...and yes carrying a heavy lens of shoulder is much easier then holding it in hand all the time. those stand can keep the monopod standing but I still dont think it can support anything more then 300-400 gm

you have seen this pic before this way its easier to carry heavy lens and when needed just put monopod on ground and shooot

You have to hold the monopod on one hand and use your camera or do you have something like this for your monopod?

My guess is that this is a small tripod with a ball joint and mount. I'm not sure how this would attach to the monopod.

What you honestly need is a proper tripod if you want to leavr the cam standing or for long exposure shots. Invest in a good one or in a gorillapod and it'll make up for the cost in some time

Monopod discussed in this video has the stabilizer in it.


Table tripod is not something I want now.

I have been saying this to myself for quite a long time. Now I am thinking of getting something reasonably okay for compact camera rather than keep waiting for a good one.

I think the vlogger was using a mirrorless cam and lens he used doesn't seem to be a heavy one.
Yeah, I remember this photo. But don't remember the monopod. BTW, stubble looks better than clean shaven face.

It all depend on what you are going to mount on that tripod ....for my max combo ..thats D7000+150-500 its 3.5 KG and to keep everything safe and steady I will have to get a tripod and ball head which can take 7 KG . Now that will need a huge investment...maybe around 10k ..and I dont think thats worth right now.

if you are planning to mount a 350gm P&S then any tripod which can take weight around 1.5 -2kg can do and these tripod will be small and compact..you can even check for compact tripods which triple folds and easily fit in bag
[MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION] even I dont like clean shave 'baccha' face ..but it takes one night and i get beard... in a week i look like a sad film heart broken guy

I thought I would buy a DSLR, so waited. Now I am gonna buy a sub 1k tripod and will see how it works for me.

You have a nice full beard, not everyone can grow full beard. I have patchy beard, and not dense. I can go on for a week and it will still look like stubble for me. Now I am growing, it's hard and it's been 6 weeks.

 

[izzikio_rage]

Get one first. There will never be a perfect tripod. I have friends who jugaadoed a hook under the tripod and hang a bag from it to increase weight

I like this discussion on beards

 

[Anorion]

Oh! that is such a great idea for tripod, lol will try it

 

[nac]

This one looks good to me. Few bad reviews about the quality, I think I got to live with it. Hope they send a good piece and avoid the hassle of returning/replacing and make me wait further...

I like this discussion on beards 

It's because I am growing, so I am noticing everyone. The guy in the video posted has excellent coverage. I don't think I have seen many with full coverage below lower lips/chin area.

 

[sujoyp]

my tripod already have a hook below to increase the weight...but the head bends down as soon as I put my D7000+17-50 on it..
Sorry nac flipkart is blocked in office...can you tell the model number of tripod.

regarding beard small part of beard on both side have become white now...I look too experienced uncle type I better stay young till I get married

Don't the girls like salt and pepper look?

 

[sujoyp]

Girls like when in case of selecting boyfriend...for marrige girls parents wont like it...having beard may seems shady, untidy, misfit, to some

the tripod looks good nac ...just be aware that never put your dslr with heavy lens like 70-300 or 55-300 alone on this one...always keep the strap around neck and then put it on tripod...I would not believe the specs 100% and would keep a max of 1-1.5 KG on it.

Yeah, me too have that suspicion. They would claim all sort of things...
The hook looks so puny, I don't know what kinda weight it can take. And things are not good here, it will take more time for shipping to reach me.

 

[izzikio_rage]

Yup, looks at george Clooney's fan following. Or Amitabh, you should definitely give it a shot.

Seems even I'll need to buy a tripod. My Silk tripod broke and the gorillapod is not able to hold the weight now

 

[sujoyp]

I am getting a nikon 35mm 1.8 this week...a used one ...I am getting for 5.5k ..new one is 9k

My 50mm 1.8 is too tight and 17-50 2.8 have too much fungus to create round bokeh ...maybe this 35mm will be the ideal walkaround lens for me.

I was also drooling over tokina 11-16 2.8 for 18k which is an awesome deal ...but do I need soo wide..as I am very poor in landscapes.

what do you guys say?

 

[kkn13]

any suggestions for a good,light and portable tripod thats small enough to fit in my camera bag but can extend properly and not shake?
my velbon v-pod broke and my only issue with that tripod was the shaky feel and slightly delicate quality otherwise it was good enough

 

[sujoyp]

kkn whats the max weight yu will be putting...and do you want a table top tripod or full fledged tripod

Your budget defines what is "good". Vanguard starting price is 3k, Manfrotto is even higher.
I assume your Velbon is a much better one than these cheapo tripods. If Velbon is gone kaput after one year, I don't know how long these cheapo ones will last. Comments like these have put me away from buying these tripods. I was kinda convinced to buy one, and here comes a comment

 

[sujoyp]

Nac all depends on person to person...even my tammy 17-50 got lots of fungus but that dosnt mean all tammy 17-50 gets fungus easily

Yes, it depends on how a person weigh things and price is one big factor esp, if the person is Indian
It already had fungus even before you get your hands on with the lens, if I remember correct.

Check out this article guys. It was an interesting reading. I am tempted to share it with you guys even before I fully read the article. I am just half way through the article...

Is There Really Anything ‘Wrong’ with Digital Camera Sales Volumes?

 

[sujoyp]

yes nac it had some fungus...but it has increased a lot more in mumbai due to humid conditions I can not take artistic shots with it..the fungus will show in bokeh
