Because of you David. I have bought an Insta 360 one r twin edition thing with a bike bundle and another selfie stick invisible Harry Potter cloak and am now excited to go hiking with it and do random things on my bicycle. Can not wait to crash and view it in 360°. Thank you David. You inspire me.

I love using my A180 when i take 360 videos and pictures with my GoPro Fusion. Just like you said, I was not paying attention to it, i turn my back for a few seconds to get something and a gust of wind knock over the monopod and there went the lens on the 360 camera with it. Oh well needed a reason to upgrade the 360 camera. One feature you forgot to show on the video, you can unscrew the red knob off the base and attach it to the rod if you want to have a standard monopod.

They work good for filming wildlife. You can get up to 14-15 ft high to film inside a bird nest or you can stay hidden in underbrush and raise it up over it without freaking out the animal. Tons of options with one. I just have cheap one and pretty cool with a ball head attached. I made me a little pouch and put on a camera strap that I just put around my neck and stick one in it for stability.

You missed the most amazing effect with your monopod...loosen the bottom of the monopod so it can tilt backwards and forwards and the head which will allow you to do AMAZING track into a subject or out of...lean as far back as possible then slowly move camera forward while tilting up to keep subject in frame... you can mini track in and out of anything 👍😎 Next week how to do the perfect hypersmooth pans😃

The shorter one is better for travelers. Easier to pack and move around with. I got the longer one and it’s longer than I need for most cases. That’s not a bad thing but I think I would’ve preferred the shorter one had it been on sale too. But since the longer carbon fiber one was cheaper than the shorter carbon fiber one at the time, I just went cheap.

I see holding the handle where you can move the camera downward ( ground )and backward ( sky ) but what if you want to take a picture vertical instead of horizontal? Also seems to me there is a need of a seperate bracket underneath the camera.

@hankfink5412 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, if you're taking pictures vertical on this monopod you can just switch out the video fluid head for a ball head that tilts 90 degrees to give you the vertical shot. Or get a cage for your camera that has a mounting screw on the side

To get the super high placement of the camera, I actually use two monopods (not the cheapest method, but it works great). I have a Corbra 2 A180-II and Cobra 2 C180-II along with the Komodo K5. I will put the C180-II monopod on the top of the A180-II monopod and I can get that really high up shot with ease. It allows the bottom monopod to still be on the ground. That configuration gets some interesting high up shots at the car shows I've attended in the past. I usually attach a clamp to the lower monopod so I can attach my phone to see what the camera is seeing with its remote control app on the phone. The quality of the iFootage equipment has been outstanding!
