Went for the manfrotto monopod in the end. Thx

Hi all, advice needed on getting a tripod or a monopod that will be good for stills as well as for video to be teamed up with 5dii. Budget of about £200 and it will be used a lot on travels. As far as monopods go I'm considering manfrotto 561bhdv with fluid head and extra stability with the...

Nice pics, especially love the lion shot. Got much closer to the wolves than I managed to. Both would look better slightly cropped and postioned off central but I'd be more than happy if mine looked like that.
