shopping  Video: When to Use a Monopod  J., Crutchfield
photographer, gives us some tips on when to use a monopod.  J:
There will always be a time when you need to support your camera
for longer exposures or for longer lenses. You have two choices:
tripods or monopods.  A monopod, being a third of a tripod, is
lighter and faster to react. You can move around a lot easier
with one. So say sports, weddings, stuff like that, using a long
lens, low light, I'd pick up the monopod. When you're working
all day with a heavy lens, a monopod can save your arm a lot of
stress.  Tripods — of course I use a tripod doing all the still
life photography for Crutchfield. When you're gonna have to
repeat an image — tripod. They're a little bit slower to use but
if you're doing an intricate set up or macro photography, that's
what you're gonna need. But for more lively things where both
subjects moving a lot and you're moving a lot, a monopods the
best thing.   Gift C
