A question to all photographers (please look)...

Of course I still love THIS as an idea haha.

I'm not looking for much......

How about a 100-500mm f1.2 lens........OK, maybe that's a bit much to ask for,.......... I'll settle for an F1.4 100-400mm.....

And naturally, for $50.00...........

A shoulder mounted camera holder? It is a possibility.

Of course I still love THIS as an idea haha.

And then see how far you get spotting at your local airport, mind you, probably a couple of shots more than you would at Heathrow or JFK

Ah the delights of the modern world.

Back on topic, some photographers thought it might be good to have a tripod design which could snap apart to leave just a single leg attached, a monopod.

Do you like the idea of that? Now I am just thinking of how to develop that idea. A ground anchor (sort of spike on the end to secure the tripod) was one idea. Lose the screen on the front and just have a really stable design.

Is there anything else you'd like to see on a new tripod design? Any features which you really like about your current tripod or any features you wish were there?

You want to do a monopod, all you need is a bolt, a bit of string and a bit of wood. The bolt, one that fits into the threaded portion of the camera. A bit of string attached to said bolt. The other end is then attached to the bit of wood. The bit of string needs to be a smidgen shorter than from the floor to a normal supportive camera to the eye stance. Screw in the bolt, stand on the bit of wood and tension the string. You now have a stable, "reverse" tripod/monopod. The best part, wrap the string around the wood and it fits into your pocket.
