I have a big & long & heavy Manfrotto 434B, with 2 joints only, which is
too long to fit comfortably into my Nova 5 camera bag. I wear it on a strap
over my shoulders like a rifle (got mistaken once for a hunter ;). Apart
from its size, it's an excellent monopod - heavy & stabile. It helped me a
lot to get sharp photos at concerts, wildlife, even landscapes! I did some
landscapes with 50mm and 28mm lenses and Impressa 50, which is pretty slow
film, using the monopod I was able to get "tak" sharp pictures even at
1/15s. I use a simple tilt head with quick-release plates.
Now I would only like something smaller ;)
