[Leica] IMG: Monopod Experiment

[Tina Manley]

Impressive!!  I love my monopod and use it a lot.  I bought a cane top that
screws into the monopod so I can carry it on airplanes.  Then I just have
to pack the ball head in my camera bag to install when I get where I'm
going.  I also use it as a cane when hiking.

That is - I used to use it back when I traveled ;-)
