...I'm using a Sony NEX so I never put it up to my eye. I shoot like I used to shoot with my twin lens reflex, or else I shoot like I would with an old-fashioned view camera. I dislike having to put the camera in my face to take a picture.

I use the gorillapod ballhead Speck Tater Dec 2012 #1

Thanks. Blue_In_AK Dec 2012 #2

You might need something heavier then. Speck Tater Dec 2012 #4

I think they may have a heavier duty one. Blue_In_AK Dec 2012 #7

Do monopods need an adjustable head? ManiacJoe Dec 2012 #3

They can be useful, but not as much as with a tripod Major Nikon Dec 2012 #5

Something like that would probably work for me, too. Blue_In_AK Dec 2012 #8

I have a ballhead and a pan/tilt for my tripod Major Nikon Dec 2012 #9

A simple tilt head is what I have on my monopod. ManiacJoe Dec 2012 #11

Not necessarily, Blue_In_AK Dec 2012 #6
