3. Manfrotto Monopod Demo Footage
3 years ago
For most, this movie will probably be quite dull. For those those considering purchasing a monopod, I hope you will find it useful (please let me know either way).
I took a range of pans using my HV30 with and without the Manfrotto 560B monopod to help demonstrate the stabilising effect of using a monopod over handheld.
I am by no means a handheld expert (just look at my woeful pans), nor am I a monopod expert. This is me at the park, a day after I got the monopod trying my best to compare the two styles of shooting. I think you will immediately see the marked improvement using a monopod has on image stability. After only using it for a few days, my off the cuff shooting quality has improved in leaps and bounds.
Each shot is preceded with a label saying whether it was handheld or monopod assisted. The last long shot of the water bird is all thanks to the smooth movement possible with the 560B - I couldn't bring myself to cut it.
At the time I shot this my DOF adapter was broken, so unfortunately I don't have any footage of the monopod and adapter. My next videos will all be using (for the most part) the DOF adapter and monopod.

Great images too! That pink sky reflecting off the lake is amazing!
The HV30 produces some nice colours straight out of camera though, doesn't it!
I did have the stabiliser on the whole time. Is that a bad thing?
turning it off, you might notice it to be a little bit more shaky in general, but you wont get that stutter when panning... then you just need to work on your technique with the monopod =]
