More seriously ... ;-) ... I've done the same but instead of using a monopod I've used a lightweight light stand. That gives the option to shoot one-handed when it's possible, but then just spread the legs and let it stand on its own when needed. An RF trigger and medium sized flash unit with a bit of a diffuser on it works well for this purpose. Some current monopods have a small set of tripod legs built in for enhanced stability that might work for this, presuming it doesn't get bumped. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
