Any opinions? - -- joe b. ------------------ Joe, I have one of those things, however I'm also 6'3 and 220. I also find I most often use it for a heavy Nikon. I usually use a lightweight aluminum monopod purchased well over twenty years ago (1972?) for a light Rollei SLR. It works just as well with the M6 and I always have it with the camera. I guess I'm not dedicated, but the "Killer-Brute" isn't always the best option for me and it often sits unused. Glenn gthrall@ix.netcom.com
