Morning all.
I purchased my monopod just before the WEC in April and have to admit I just couldn't get to grips with panning using it. As I panned the camera (clockwise), I could not keep the monopod vertical with the result that my pans were"dipping away" and the last few images in the burst were usually at an angle. I am reasonably OK with my hand held panning technique.
Off To Silverstone again soon and wanted to sort out once and for all whether or not I need a ballhead (or some other head) to rid my self of this problem.
Or is it a case of my technique being suspect and I need to persevere with my current kit (monopod and tilt held/quick release plate)?
Have trawled through various posts but seems there is a real difference in opnion as to whether a head is needed or not.
Grateful for any thoughts.
