Super Monopod has returned! It is new and improved, as I have solved the pendulum problem (i.e. the camera may swing at the top of a fully extended super monopod).
- Question: You may ask, what is “Super Monopod?”
- Answer: A ranger approved manner to get your camera higher.
Read my original Super Monopod post and review … it shows initial results (photos). I even showed my setup to a park ranger who very much approved … assuming one does not get to close and push / flush birds. As a fyi … Les never moved all day! While one could use a drone to get a camera higher in the air, it is obvious that drones disturb birds and should NEVER be used.
The key to solving my pendulum problem was purchasing an inexpensive ball club head which allows me to tilt my camera on the top of my Super Monopod. Thus, at an extended reach of the poles, I no longer need to tilt the extremely tall monopod. I also use the ball club head with my Amazon Basics monopod (very light). I control my Sony A6300 at the top of the Super Monopod via remote control using a Sony App my phone.

wow- very impressive and amazing images! thank you
Great photos of you with monopod in your east Duluth neighborhood! Although relatively warm winter, didn’t realize you were able to grow palm trees and able to wear shorts in February. Global warming?
There is a reason Duluth is known as the Arctic Riviera!!
