I was in the shop yesterday wanting to buy a Monopod.

There is quite a assortment of these things. My question is.

1. Do people use monopods a lot ?

I only want one for Macro as my 70-300 is kinda heavy and i have a hard time holding it still in Macro mode.

2. What kind of head do you have on it ?

I wanted to buy a small manfrotto with a ballhead, The head didn't fit on the monopod and i had to go for the bigger Monopod, Which i didn't want, The idea is if and when i want to travel i'd like to try and keep things small.

Hop this all makes sense.

Cheers
