Got a new monopod (1 Viewer)

In an effort to get better with my Panasonic FZ200 I bought a new mono pod and head . I really like the camera but it is very hard to hold steady when I have it zoomed past about 300mm or so. Went with the Induro AM 24 pod and a Promaster MH 02 head. Yesterday was very overcast here with on and off rain but test shots at full Zoom were much better than I can due freehand. The aluminum version was .2 pound heavier and seventy dollars cheaper than carbon fiber and the head is solid with an Acra-Swiss quick release plate. Comes with it's own belt holster and with camera the rig weighs just over three pounds. I have two Induro tripods now and one big point was the twist locks, I didn't want flip locks on a mono pod as they are just one more thing to catch on brush or weeds. Working very well so far.
