Monopod for a Lanky Fella...
      23/06/2008 13:28

Hi,

I am looking to purchase a simple monopod. Looking at the usual Manfrotto / Velbon options most go to 160cm in height, which I don't think would be quite high enough for me (at 6'4") to shoot standing up without a slight stoop that would give my neck / back no end of jip after an extended period of time.

I have found a Giottos monopod online at Warehouse Express for £45 which claims to be 180cm which should suffice but I was wondering if there are any other tall monopod users who could recommend me some other options to consider (apart from trying to shoot with a monopod from a lower point of view!).

Many thanks in advance

Mark F
