For Xmas, I got myself a new monopod. A bogen 685B.

​

...... and I also got the swivel head to go on top....​

​

......... and I also got another SB-800 in the order.....​

Nice, but if its that tall how do you look through the viewfinder?

You might need a pair of these to use the thing.

Enjoy the monopod and let us know what you think after you use it a while.

Good on the two of you...

I do keep a two-step ladder on hand and the D300 does have "Live View" if needed. I do like the swivel head though. I'm nearly 5'-10" now.... (damn I hate getting older and shrinking...) and just wanted to show the full extent possible. You never know, there could be a situation the height is needed. The pod also comes with a rubber foot for indoor use and by twisting the rubber foot up, a spike is introduced by twisting the opposite direction to impale the turf.

I got the same monopod and head rig. The pnuematic action is sweet. Says it supports 17lbs but I found my 400 f/2.8 pushes it down after a bit of use. That's pushing the stick to the max though.

I have the 679 with the same head.

Great monopod. Solid as a freakin rock
