Versatile Monopod
What’s a versatile and practical Camera tripod or monopod?
I’m looking for a tripod or monopod that is versatile and practical. Any suggestion is appreciated. In order of importance:
Easy to set up shots.
Stable and secure
Easy to carry.
A good height.
Not expensive.
Thanks.
Well, the not expensive part really makes your choices much simpler!
Okay, I recommend the Velbon Ultra-Maxi series, especially the versions with a ball head.

Depending upon the weight of your camera, it’s easy to set up, use and it’s stable. The height is good, extended it’s about chest height on an adult–a good height for things like photographing people (it’s more flattering at chest height than eye level).
Easy to carry–definitely. In fact, it’s small enough to be taken as a carry-on on an airplane. And when hiking, it won’t weigh you down, so you won’t leave the tripod behind.
Cost: about $130. That’s not expensive in the tripod world.
