Monopod Vs Tripod

    Hi all,

    Taking my 350D on hols with me this year to namibia :) Now normally I travel very light no tripod (except for a minipod).

    I'm trying to weight up my options, I don't want to carry around a tripod and was thinking of a Monopod as being a good compromise.

    What are the pro/cons for the two options.

    Also, in low light conditions, 1/60 th of sec is the lowest you should go for holding the camera in your hands while taking a shot, but if using a monopod, how long can you keep the shutter open? Like 1/30 th of a sec for example??

    Thanks
    Pan

    A monopod for sure, I got a Manfrotto 690b for €60 in Conns and its a real sturdy one.

    Fajitas was saying a monopod is great for clearing any ruffiens that gather.
    I think I'll be getting a monopod myself ,can you quick release the monopod Borderfox?? ,I have a manfrotto tripod with the plate on the camera.

    Tripods should usually have a quick release.
