Manfrotto Monopod
Is there a good tripod or monopod for a pocket HD camera?
I would love to have some of the more expensive things like the fluid pan/tilt heads on a name brand tripod, but I need something a bit less clunky and a lot less expensive.
I will be shooting a little bit of fast action sports i.e. Motorcycle races. I’m thinking monopod for ease of mobility moving from one location to another, but it sure would be nice to have a decent ball head or pan head.
Slik, Libec, Manfrotto may all be in my price range, but on the other hand I would love to spend less than $100 on this setup. I have a Kodak Zi8. http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=kodak+zi8&cid=6741335575296682914&sa=title#p
My friend uses a Canon tripod 200 for her pocket cam. It wasn’t expensive and it is sturdy enough and pans well. You could carry a mono-pod with you too. Sometimes, you may be walking around or in a position where you can’t set up a tripod so the mono-pod would come in handy.
