A monopod is a single-legged support used primarily in photography and videography. It provides stability for cameras, helping to reduce blurriness in images caused by shaky hands. Monopods are lightweight and portable, making them ideal for outdoor shooting or events where space is limited. Unlike tripods, which have three legs, monopods are easier to maneuver and can be quickly adjusted. They are often used by professional photographers and videographers, especially in sports and wildlife settings, where quick movement is essential. Many monopods come with adjustable heights and can be fitted with various camera mounts.
