How to use a monopod?

To keep the camera fixed, we generally recommend using a tripod, because a good quality tripod can really minimize camera vibration and get clearer and sharper images when taking pictures with slow shutter and telephoto. However, some photographers have to consider flexibility and mobility when shooting. For example, photographers in sports competitions will choose a lightweight monopod. A monopod with fewer parts is certainly easier to carry, but it requires more technology to use. After all, if you didn't hold it yourself, it wouldn't automatically stand still like a tripod. Share it from the website "PhotographyMad", let's learn related skills together. (1) Generally speaking, the tripod is directly connected to the fuselage. However, if you use a heavier and longer telephoto lens, you should use a tripod connecting ring to connect the tripod to the lens, not to the fuselage, so as not to be top-heavy and fall around. As for the tripod head, the spherical/wavy tripod head has great elasticity, which is convenient for monopod to use in different terrains and slopes. (2) Monopod holding mode: the left hand is held close to the camera, and the right hand moves freely for normal adjustment and operation. When shooting, the left hand is slightly pressed down, so that the monopod is fixed on the ground and the elbow is attached to the body to minimize vibration. (3) There are several ways to use the monopod posture. You can try one by one to find the most comfortable method, while left-handed people have to walk in the opposite direction. 1) tripod-this is a comfortable way to stand with your feet apart, and then put the tripod in front of you, but pull it higher, even the camera is higher than yourself. Then pull the camera to your own direction, let your eyes see the viewer directly, and form a tripod with the tripod to avoid shaking in different directions. It will be suitable for soft ground, such as grass, but it will be used in other ways on hard ground, such as cement. 2) lunge-take your left foot half a step forward and your right foot slightly outward, then let your foot rest on the inside of your right foot, and the foot rest stick is close to your left thigh, so that you can fix your foot rest on the hard or even wet ground. You can change the vertical position of the tripod by pulling back or pushing your feet inward. 3) Between the legs-insert the monopod a few inches behind the left foot, and then stick it close to the inner thigh of the left foot, so that it can be used whether the ground is soft or hard, but it requires high balance of the body. (4) Other methods of use, but the monopod has other uses besides stabilizing the camera: 1) Broaden your shooting range: you can set the time system, or use the remote control to raise or lift the camera with a monopod and shoot, which will greatly increase your shooting angle. 2) Temporary tripod: In fact, besides using your own body, you can also become a stable tripod next to different objects such as fences. 3) Supporting heavy equipment: Many photographers carry thousands of kilograms of equipment with them. Holding it all by hand will be very tiring, and a monopod will also help. Personally, I think taking pictures outdoors can also be used as self-defense. 0? 2 How to hold a one-legged Nok-Personal blog about the author is "looking at the window", and life is to take care of my daughter and keep writing.
