Hello Everyone,
I have been comparing the steadiness of hand holding my 7 power binoculars against the steadiness of using my small 65mm Pentax spotting scope on a conventional monopod.
I experience a steadier view with the spotting scope at 10, 16 and 23 power but obviously it is not rock solid when compared to the use of a tripod.
My question is, would a three footed monopod provide a steadier view than the conventional monopod. I don't want to waste money on a new monopod if there is not an appreciable improvement in steadiness of view.
If anyone has experience using these types of monopods with small spotting scopes I would really appreciate your feedback.
Thanks,
Bob
