right i am off to snetterton tomorrow for my 1st bash a motorcycle photography and i think i want a mono pod. not sure so i was looking at getting this its only £15 or this for £5 more

will it serve me a days use and give me an idea if i need a mono pod??? i dont want to spend much on one incase i dont get on with it, also i can pick it up today in wimbledon.

cheers
 
Spend a bit more and get something better.
 
I had a velbon UP-4000 look on amazon, not massivley expenive but was a good monopod... bit flimsy but did teh job, Manfrotto 679B which I have now is really good and can be had for about 30-35 quid
 
Spend £40 or so and get something like a Manfrotto 680. Those Jessops monopods are cheaply-made and the plastic heads are just rubbish.

Having said that, unless you have a lens with a heavy (and I mean really heavy) lens,I can't see why you'd need one, especially with a body that has built in IS...

Would probably manage without, especially for motorbikes.

Having said that, they are useful and worth getting one - keep your eye open in the for sale section - or even in the magazine subscriptions as they may offer a "free" one :clap:
