Doupod Required. (1 Viewer)

Hi all I am looking for a Uni-loc Duopod or something similar, but I am having no luck. I cant seem to make contact with Uni-loc!
Does anyone know if they are still in business, or know of a similar device (stabilizer leg for the bottom of a monopod)

Something like this?

There is also the Novoflex Quadropod that can be changed into a two-pod:

Neither sorry to say. The one that I am after is made by Uni-loc and is called a Duopod.
It fastens to the bottom part of the monopod and you can then steady the monopod by putting ones foot on the plate. I have tried the web site and phone numbers but to no avail,although someone assures me that the company is still there!

Have a look at this:

Fold down foot

Shezza,

Kenmof61's bit of lateral thinking is exactly the direction I took.

I use a Nikon ED50 on a monopod for almost all my birding and I wondered if the fold-down foot was worth it. I bought the monopod kenmof61 has pointed to over a year ago (when it was around £7 !). The same thing is available re-badged from lots of other places. As proof of concept it works very well. The worst movement using a monopod is twist, or rotation about the longitudinal axis, and it's the hardest to control. A fold down foot eliminates it. Monostat has come to the same conclusion and it sells a special foot with rotational resistance- but they only sell it on their own monopods, and it's pricey.

However, the fold down foot from 7 day shop et al suffers from a sloppy connection between the fold down foot and the bottom of the monopod. The hole is over-sized, and prone to wear, so you have to twist the monopod to take out the slop before putting your foot on the foot.

I solved this by taking the foot off and making a laminated plywood attachment with a hole that was a tighter fit and clamped on the bottom of my Velbon monopod.

Regards

Thanks kenmof61 But I already have the monopod,and the Duopod adds better stability.
See www.uniloctripod.com Its just that the phone number doesn't seem to go anywhere.But I am assured they are still in business.
