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! I have the Manfrotto 484RC2, and it has 2 cutouts that allow the camera to be positioned vertically. Most of the Manfrottos have this, other brands may handle it differently. Rick

We mean live theatre, not movie. Quite true that it depends on the event. When I speak of a theater or theater environment I am speaking of the lighting. Most recently this includes plays, concerts, dance recitals, and other auditorium events at a school level, where they had better allow cameras, or they would have a fairly unruly audience. I reserved the monopod for the event at which I was the 'official' photographer, shooting the images that ultimately went onto a CD for each participant. Rick

May 22, 2004 09:50 | #39 I want to thank everybody for being very informative about this area of the photo equipment that before that was complete mistery for me - monopods. Yesterday I went to the local shop and tried about 5 or 6 kinds of monopods. Finally I picked the Manfrotto 276
In addition I bought the Manfrotto 342 ball head which adds to the overall height of the monopod and allowes me to use the camera at any angle I want. Thank you all again ! Best wishes,

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.
