At the moment i have the very basic 'essential' equipment,my original thought last year was going down the wildlife/outdoor niche,so with this in mind i wanted to travel as light as possible so i chose a 'monopod' it may not be the best option or as steady as a tripod but so much lighte and also much better than hand held.
But althou a mono is pretty steady i am finding that you can still move just when you are going to take the picture,so do i carry on and try and master the stabilty issue with a mono or try and find a very lightweight tripod that can fold down to a small package to carry in my back pack.
Still cannot choose between the 2 options,well i am aware which is more steadier but cannot fathom a way to get around the weight of a tripod.
Does anyone have any suggestions ???
