When you got to keep moving, ;a tripod sometimes is too big and
bulky, but you still need a little support, so . . . that's when you
need the Canon Monopod 500 . This compact (21.9"/55 cm)
five-section support has a load capacity of 8.8 lb (3.8 kg) which is
ample to hold equipment ranging from point and shoot digital cameras ;to
professional digital SLRs, video cameras, scopes and binoculars.
The
Monopod 500 extends to a working height of 64.5" (164 cm) and, includes
a mini-ballhead for positioning your camera precisely where you want
it. As opposed to hand-holding, the Monopod 500 allows you to hold your
equipment steadier so you can capture sharper images and it reduces the
chance of you missing a fleeting image.
