Then I'd have to use the screen for sighting!
I HATE using the screen. When looking for the new one, I insisted on a DSLR with eyepiece.
In bright light, the screen is black. :help:

Ahh.. you aren't seeing the reason why you want a monopod that can extend beyond your height.
When you lower it to your eyes height the tubes will overlap and provide a stiffer support for the camera.

Get a good ball mount so you can move the camera about freely
....
And pick up some candy bars too....
Those you should send to me.

With the greatest respect, Joe; that is a very American approach to the problem.
Faced with a choice of (a) making a tool suited to the task, or (b) using something five times as big as needed so that it can do the 1/5th required without breaking, America will go for option (b).
However, given that 99% of our goods are made in the cheapest labour centres, using the absolute minimum standards, your advice is probably very sound.
Despite every man, woman and their dogs talking "March 31" :rant: instead of 31st March, I couldn't find any "candy bars", so I bought you some chocolate.
Sadly, my willpower is on a par with my political acumen, so I ate it all on the way home. :$
Thanks again for the tips. :thumbsup:
