Yes you are right but tripod is more heavy than a monopod and for my
travels and my documentaries I think I often will not use it and
therefore I will get always shaky images. On the contrary I think I
can bring always with me the monopod because it is lighter and I could
make a less shaky video. Do I make a mistake?
Thanks
