For ultimate stability, use a tripod stand. But sometimes it is not practical - or permissible - to use a large stand. A single-legged stand provides good stability when working with long telephoto lenses and offers many more options in situations with dim lighting. Monopods are easy to carry, lightning fast to set up and ideal when space is tight.
You have probably seen sports photographers on the sidelines with large telephoto lenses - they do not have much space to work on and often need to be able to move quickly from place to place. Under these conditions, it is not possible to use a three-legged stand - but a one-legged stand works perfectly!
SIRUI P Series monopods are available in several sizes up to 171cm high and the most compact have 6 sections so they only fold up to 38 cm - small enough to fit in a backpack or photo bag. All models are equipped with a wrist strap and a practical compass. With a weight of down to only 0.4 kg, you can always have your SIRUI monopod with you.
