Please, don't get too defensive, I said I was not familiar with that brand and it is a fact of physics that the more joints you have, the more propensity there is for wobble to be a factor. Look at any of the tripods from any of the major suppliers, and I think you will see that the more sections, the lower the weight limit. Rick

I suppose it depends on application.. ie on the sidelines of a football field,. the ground is obviously even and the subject is pretty constant height wise.. so the immediate adjustablilty may be of no advantage.. ...but on a nature hike.. I love being able to put the camera to my eye at any height and give the handle a squeeze.. the 'pod drops it's foot into the gorund no matter what awkward terrain there is. Very Handy. The model number is 3245 and I bought this one as well, specifically for the quick height adjustment. It's about $80.00 from B&H and has a weight capacity of about 17 lbs. It must be popular, as B&H recently raised the price on it slightly. Chuck

May 20, 2004 00:43 | #26 SoCal69, the 3245 is a bit out of my budget. $80 + S&H of about $40 + customs becomes a little expensive for monopod ... Best wishes,

May 20, 2004 01:23 | #28 I guess I can, but the assortment here is rather low ... That's the reason I want to order it from B&H. Best wishes,

While I had the head mostly rigid, if I wanted to change a position, the two-way head would be very restrictive. I was wondering if a monopod could be used in a theatre while seated!
