Help me buy a… Monopod

THE BEST monopods can provide photographers and videographers with a huge amount of shooting versatility compared to a tripod. While these single-legged supports don’t have the same rock-steady stability, they are far lighter and less cumbersome than tripods.

Of course, which monopod is right for you will depend on your specific photographic needs… Different models have different maximum heights, which you may want to factor in if you are especially tall. You also want to consider how much a monopod weighs and how small it folds down, as it’s you that’s going to have to lug it around on your excursions! Maximum payload is a concern as well, especially if you’re using hefty telephoto lenses. Let’s get cracking with the best monopods you can buy for your Canon!
