Will this monopod be good enough to replace my tripod?

I want something smaller that I can easily carry around. I’ll get a head for it too of course. What do you think?

Well, this one has those pop out little legs, so it might be more stable than a garden variety monopod, but it won’t be as good as a typical tripod. If you are using a small camera, you might get by with this one. The best tripod to use is the one that you have with you. If you will take this more places than you are willing to take your current tripod, then it’s going to be better for you.
