Description

Experimenting and playing around with my inexpensive monopod in my back yard and fastening it to the ground to act like a tripod. It is not meant to replace a tripod in any way, shape or form... But it works. Aloha and thank you for viewing See tutorial: "Back Yard Monopod"

I'm familiar with this principle since I have used it myself, only on a giant 6 1/2 foot tall roster sculpture made from tractor and truck parts. It didn't set right in the dirt and a wind storm took all 500 pounds of it over so I decided I'd use guide lines to support it and keep it upright. I have 2 monopods and one tripod... interesting concept.

Hey, great focus in this shot of your Panasonic camera atop that makeshift tripod, Errol. Besides my tripod, I also have a monopod, but rarely use it.
