Monopod advice

I wasnt asking how to. I was stating that you can't manualy adjust for changes in light from the sun. Hence why auto will do a better job.

According to the manual (page 32) you can go full manual to set aperture and shutter speed. Some cameras remember the auto setting. Try putting the camera in full auto, press the shutter button slightly to set the picture and then move the dial from auto to the movie icon.

You can manually adjust, either using a Variable ND filter or having a declicked aperture.

I just film more and pick out a good portion :-)

Thanks. Good advice. Yes, the aperture can be de-clicked. I also tend to shoot more and cut the best edit. I am sure I will get more experienced. The camera has a built in ND filter.

Out of interest, the posters who have advised against a monopd - How many of you have actually used/use one (the more recent, 3 legged type) ?

Marbury,

This was my answer to your post: "For serious video that is not suitable, But for event is OK. "

""But for event is OK"" was exactly what your linked youtube video recommentation and he did shoot in the wedding with it, so it was an event. You can't shoot lock up shot with this Monopod outdoor "AT ALL". A little breeze or your hand holding it a bit will be unstable for the shot.

Who knows if this video was a paid advertisement? Ever heard of Advertorial !!
The bottom line is, this is a good monopod for sport and event when quick response needed (your case!). Go and test it yourself instead of asking opinion from others. You must test and decide what you need.

An alternative of Manfrotto
