Monopod Technique (cont) Some right-handed shooters may find this relative position of legs and monopod more comfortable and stable; however, notice you will need to set the camera at a taller height so none of your legs need to bend. This is where the additional monopod height comes in handy. The camera is tilted back to allow for an angle greater than 90째 between the monopod and the lens axis.
This is the same as above, but for lefthanded shooters. Again, what is wrong is the camera height, forcing me to bend the left leg this time. The use of a ball head permits a side adjustment, not just tilt. I have added this time another important ingredient for successful shooting from a monopod: as in handholding, tuck your elbows into your chest. This prevents side movement.
