Interesting. I guess it's an individual preference.
And the thought came to me that a monopod is never really a monopod. I have two legs and the monopod has one so that makes a tripod -- a large, fleshy, overweight, saggy tripod

Hi DenisS,
Have you ever test quad pod? You say it's unstable?
Your link is also very interesting. It's a solution like the 'monotripod' of Hans Nyberg.
Not easy for me now to decide between quad pod and a 'monotripod', for making panophotojournalism
Thanks

Your monopod seems friendly and is dressed very colorfully. And having such a self propelled monopod would be very helpful
