Monopod vs Tripod
Product Information
People often ask “What’s better, a monopod or a tripod?”
The simple answer is that they both have their uses and so depending on the necessary task you should choose the equipment that’s correct for you. For instance if you are photographing a motorsport event then due to the distance that spectators are placed from the racing you are going to need a telephoto lens.
