I remember seeing this added part that is basically a monopod with somesort of head on it that clamps to a leg on a tripod and screws to the bottom of hte camera giving it extra support. I thought manfrotto made it but i just searched there site and b&h and can't find it.

Does anyone know who makes it? And is it decent investment for those really windy days?

Huh?:confused: Not really sure what you mean. It goes from the ballhead to the leg?

I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to describe unless it might be a device that would connect to a lens' tripod ring while the body is connected to the tripod's head. Even that is just a wild-a.. guess. Can you be a little more specific in what you are looking for and how it might have worked?

Thank you Jon, I dont know how I missed it. I was going nuts looking thru all my old popphoto/shutterbug/ou​tdoor photog mags. I know i saw it in them. I saw a non manfrotto one and the manfrotto one.

Now here's the question, does anyone actually use one?

I do. Even knowing that Manfrotto made one, I had to go to the PDF of the Manfrotto catalog to find the part number, and then when I tried searching for either the model number or the name at B&H it didn't show up. ISTR I narrowed things down as tight as I could and sorted by price to come up with that. They really must not want you to buy them!
