Finally figured out what I (I, I, I, ME, I) want in a monopod. Of course
it's got to be one that's not to short. (That's obvious, to me.) But also,
finally, it should not be to tall either...
I need to find one that, combined with a mounted ball head, opens to 58-59".
That way, with the camera on it, I can just drop the flippin' legs quickly
to full extension without fiddling with up/down up/down minor adjustments.
Just fully drop the legs and the camera then will automatically be at my
standing eye level...
If I ever need to shoot over the heads of a crowd (a rare occurrence for me)
I figure I can just tuck the bottom of the pod (WITH THAT DAMN SPIKE
RETRACTED!) into the top of my pants, behind my belt buckle... (And use the
cable release.)
Cool, huh?
No?
