A new use for a monopod

They actually sell a gadget like that to take self portraits.

Lol, I used my monopod to hang my camera over the mouth of a dormant volcano (still steam rises and stuff) to take a photo into it.

ooooooo sounds like a good shot

Oskar, I already have a monopod I hardly use

Some people say that the downside to being a photographer is that you're never in your own pictures. As for me, the warm and fuzzy feeling when someone praises you for that "awesome/amazing/beaut​iful" shot of them, is a far better feeling than when I hand someone else my DSLR and they take an OOF picture of me

back on topic. never thought of doing that. hahaha.

To me it looks like she's adapted her walking stick with some kind of camera mount.. Not a bad idea..

This shot could be taken at Angkor Wat in Cambodia,, BTW..

Years ago [LIke 20] I had a cane pod I gave away to a guy that needed it .
Finally found another one last year .
I used my monopod all the time if for nothing more than moving brush out of way .

Actually I'm doing a review on a gadget that fits over hiking poles that does this. I'll come back to this thread and post a link when it's done. You can get a Rebel with a light lens on it but nothing bigger... or at least I'd not trust anything bigger on it.

I use my monopod as a boom,holding Flash and umbrella or softbox. And as a monopod for my flip cam

Looks like a hiking stick(note the six sections), not a monopod.
It might be one of the Trek hiking sticks made for people who want a hiking stick instead of a ski pole, but may be just another multi-section pole adapted for a camera. I doubt it's purpose-built for photography.

It's a proper piece of kit albeit for P&S only. Can't recall where I've came across these before but they were marketed as a piece that would allow you to be in the photo and take it at the same time (w/ a timer function on the camera).
