My monopod has a wrist strap which I loop around my belt and secure to
the ball head. However pod itself is getting a bit scarred up from
banging into rocks and such. I think a shoulder bag would be better. I
can't find one long enough for the pod I own though.

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.

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 wrote: > OMG Larry, > Use it as a walking stick and get on with it. > Next you're gonna want a Batman belt! > Regards, Bob S. > -- 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.
