Monopod. Weight, min. length, max. length, and perhaps price are main factors. You want one that is taller than you are! Never get twist locks. Only flip locks !! My all time favorite for many years - Giottos MML 3290B. No longer being made. Last time I looked Amazon still had a new one. Get it used. Great bargain. Newest and best - Benro MAD4A aluminum, Benro MAD4C carbon fiber. Price difference. $67 - $150. I own all 3. Strap and padded grip. All are able to be used on both sizes of tripod screws. Gene
