deconstructing the story // a monopod tutorial from stillmotion on Vimeo.

You’ve seen pro photographers use monopods when shooting sports. A monopod requires much less space than a tripod, helps hold up a large and heavy lens, provides much needed stability and still allows the photographer freedom of movement. In this video, a Manfrotto 561BHDV-1 Fluid Video Monopod with Head is used to film video, allowing some fancy focus magic not possible with a tripod or otherwise requiring expensive equipment.
