Does anybody else use a monopod?
I just started using this setup:
Amazon Basics 67-Inch Monopod
Leupold Binocular Tripod Adapter Tray, Black, Mount
The mount screws into the monopod and holds the bins (mine are 8x42 Nikon Monarch M7) securely with a velcro stretch strap.
The monopod and mount together weigh less than a pound (15 oz / 422 grams).
It works really well for me.
I keep the monopod extended to my eye level, and I find it super steady on the ground and surprisingly wieldy.
I'm short enough that 67" monopod can get the bins up to eye level on me. I just leave it like that. The places I go are flat and fairly smooth, which I guess helps.
If I need to use it off the ground, then it works like a long finnstick.
