Monopod A monopod is a single-legged camera support device used to stabilize and steady a camera while shooting handheld. Similar to a tripod but with only one leg, a monopod helps reduce camera shake and allows photographers to achieve sharper images, especially in low-light conditions or when using telephoto lenses with long focal lengths.
Monopods are lightweight, portable, and easy to set up, making them ideal for photographers who need to maintain mobility while shooting, such as sports photographers, wildlife photographers, and photojournalists. By providing a stable platform for the camera, monopods help photographers capture sharp and steady images while reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions. Some monopods feature adjustable height and tilt, allowing photographers to customize the angle and composition of their shots with ease. |
