Interesting ideas, both - never used anything like that. Most of the time my monopod is either in the trunk or my hands, when it doubles as walking stick in rough terrain. Did attach the older one to my bag, but found it rather clumsy and later bought a shoulder bag. But as soon as I enter the area I'm shooting, out comes the walking stick - er, monopod. I do use it to steady the camera, now and then. lf Luiz Felipe luiz.felipe at techmit.com.br http://www.techmit.com.br/luizfelipe -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

2010/5/1 Larry Colen l...@red4est.com: I went for a walk in the woods after work tonight. Being around sunset it was getting dark, especially under the trees and I wished I'd had my monopod with me. I was trying to think of a convenient way to carry it, when I wasn't using it and think that some sort of a holster on a belt might work. Has anyone used something like this: http://www.zbattery.com/Maglite-Plain-Leather-Belt-Holster-for-D-Size-Flashlights to carry a monopod? No but I can somewhat see this as being a good idea - I see five-0 using these and the Mags seem to hang sufficiently low. Just make sure it is thick enough so it doesn't slip out, you are looking at kind of a big opening. Personally, I have an R-Strap and just leave the monopod dangling underneath the camera with the ballhead unlocked. It swings a bit when I walk but doesn't knock my knee, only downside is the ballhead scratches a bit where the neck of the camera plate rub on the upper edge of the ball cage whatever the tech term for that part is. Kirk has such a contraption on a separate belt but it costs an arm and a leg. You could also just find a suitable carbine hook and attach it to the belt loops of your pants.

Re: Carrying a monopd
I use the side loop on my AW200 Sling bag to store my monopod. Keeps it nicely out of the way, and always accessible.

Most are too long to carry on your belt, IMO. They end up banging around amidst your legs and are a threat to trip you. Now, attach that same belt loop doohickey to your backpack, now you're getting somewhere. My Bogen 3218 has a wrist loop. I put a cheap carabiner clip onto that loop, and hook it to my backpack or camera bag. Something to keep the bottom end up above knee level. Or I leave the 400 lens attached to it and carry it crooked over my shoulder. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Carrying a monopd
I'll second Bob's comment and recommend one of the Trek-Tech TrekPods: http://www.trek-tech.com/products/trekpods.html I have a TrekPod II which is the older, heavier design. Like the Benbo that Bob W recommended it has an upside down leg design, thickest section at the bottom, which makes it super rigid even at its tallest extension, 62.5 inches. It's a terrific hiking staff that you can really put a lot of weight into. OTOH I wouldn't like to carry it around town for fear of being accused of brandishing a club because its shortest length is 47 inches. regards, Anthony Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight (Anon) On 1 May 2010 15:08, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com wrote: OMG Larry, Use it as a walking stick and get on with it.
