Tripod Head

Hey there Perry

Are you familiar with good old eBay? If you are, or perhaps someone in your family, search for monopods and you'll be surprised. They are available as a complete unit, with a carry bag for as little as $20 delivered. You don't needed anything expensive, just an easy to use stick on which to mount the camera. The one thing to remember though is to keep the sliding legs clean. I bought one of these cheapies more than a year ago and it cops a flogging. I use it as a walking stick (be careful, not its recommended use!) to get to and from the beach, where I take pictures of my sons and grandsons surfing. It often gets full of sand, but a serious cleaning (sometimes a brush and the hose) brings it back as good as new. Don't get a swivel head, just a complete stick. It will come with a little detachable plate that unclips from the top of the unit. This plate screws into the bottom of your camera, then you clip the lot to the top of the monopod, and you're ready to go.

Good luck mate, and happy shooting.
