Yep, I love my monopod. I even use it for panning the 400 on both the MZ-S and the *ist D. I've gotten to where I can usually hand hold the 300 without much problem, as long as I keep the shutter speed faster than 1/125. But the monopod helps there, too. And the Manfrotto three-section monopod doubles as a cudgel when needed, too. :-) -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
