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 ;-) Tina On Wed, Aug 4, 2021 at 4:17 PM Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net> wrote: > Since I'm not as stable on my feet as I was when I was younger, I > decided to try using a monopod to form a human tripod.
