Joining the local Photographic Society just paid off.... the email garage sale. The monopod, after an entire year of screw-on application, now has a quick-release ball head. Love it! The pads (these are the extra ones) are a bit worn on the edges but they should last a life time, the rest of mine anyway.
Next – a set of legs, because she knows how to use them. ; p
Henry's beats the price at London Drugs, Future Shop & Visitek by $50 and their delivery service is very quick... and free!
