Trouble is, those are not particularly strong or stable so far as I can remember. Depends on what you need to support on it and what quality you are aiming for. Might get away with a light weight camera. I've got a Manfrotto 190PROB which holds up my Bronica 6x6 OK, but it's relatively heavy. BTW if you're into walking at all I think you can also get trekking poles that double up as camera monopods. -- Registered Linux user number 393408 I use and recommend the email service at 1 & 1 For domain registration, email and web hosting please visit: http://oneandone.co.uk/xml/init?k_id=6389763 -- Registered Linux user number 393408 I use and recommend the email service at 1 & 1 For domain registration, email and web hosting please visit: http://oneandone.co.uk/xml/init?k_id=6389763
