newfie 0 Report post Posted June 23, 2008 I need to get some sort of support for my newest lens and was wondering if i should get a tripod or monopod. I'd feel alot better with a tripod because theyre so sturdy, but a monopod is more compace and can be used almost anywhere. Any thoughts or suggestions?

If you're doing landscape stuff, where you're using small apetures and slow shutter speeds, I'd recommend a tripod. Brian Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
