5.0 out of 5 stars Xshot makes self-portrait taking a cinch!, December 28, 2007 By Tracy Konn "tracybebe" (Honolulu, HI)

My fiancee and I travel every other month to places far and near. Very often, we find ourselves in front of the Trevi Fountain, Haleakala summit, or Eiffel Tower wondering, "Who should we ask to take our picture?". The XShot makes self picture taking so easy, but be warned, you will attract attention. I can't begin to count how many times I've heard whispers of, "Ask her where she got it" or "That is so cool!" It is so simple to learn, you don't need an instruction manual. It takes great pictures and works ... Read more

Norazza Monopod-lightweight TD140

Great little thing! Wanted something very portable/non-conspicuous for Pentax K-x DSLR with big and heavy Sigma 70-200/2.8 zoom. Tried ~10 different monopods. The good ones were long/heavy/expensive, the cheap ones had faulty designs. This $15 feather-light "pencil" just works. Had my doubts, picked up at a local store: locks are OK, the legs have 2 grooves that prevent rotation, give additional rigidity and friction. No creeping down as with some bigger brothers for $40! It won't substitute a tripod for professional photos but will definitely improve your on-the-go pics.

Easy to carry even with a small camera bag - put one end into it and strap another with 1-2 Velcro straps (99c from a crafts shop or computer cables tie from a Dollar Store)to the shoulder strap. I am using black Velcros on a black bag. Stays put w/o attracting any unwanted attention.

If you're looking for a very inexpensive monopod and you don't need it to support much weight, I recommend this item. Don't even think about using this with a heavy SLR camera and extending it to max height, though. Buy from this link.

Davis Sanford Vista Trailblazer Monopod

Light enough for hiking and tall enough for my 6'5" friend that loves to borrow my equipment. Built solid, and for the price, a must have for any serious outdoor photographer. Great footing for indoor and outdoor photos. Bought this together with the Davis & Sanford Voyager3H tripod. What a great match! Perfect for my Canon 50D DSLR. Read more...

Opteka X-ARM Extender Portrait Handheld

If you like taking pictures of yourself or pictures of friends and family that include yourself there's no substitute for the new Opteka X-ARM. The X-ARM is an easy-to-use extending handheld monopod. You attach your camera to the end of it (it screws into the tripod socket on the bottom of your camera), press the self-timer button, extend it, and say cheese. There's no simpler way for you to get in pictures. There are many times when there's no safe or convenient place to put a camera on top of a tripod. And digital cameras are just too expensive to trust handing them over to some stranger to take a picture of you and your friends. That's when you'll really be glad you brought your X-ARM with you. Whether you want to put your face on Facebook or anywhere else in cyberspace or just want pictures for your photo album, you will love the X-ARM. It's great for parties and after work get-togethers and for everyone wants to be in the picture. No more having to choose who gets left out of the picture. The old fashioned way of holding the camera at arm's length just doesn't do the trick. Your arm's too short to get a complimentary picture, when the camera is too close the perspective is distorted and the flash is too harsh, faces tend to look like they belong in a horror movie. The X-ARM will give you a self-portrait that won't scare people off, Guaranteed. (Well, not really. But it really does take a better picture than having the camera too close to your face). The X-ARM extends all the way out to more than 37 inches. Besides self-portraits, it's terrific for shooting over people's heads when you're in a crowd or when you want to get a bird's eye view of a scene. There's also the opportunity to have a lot of fun in surprising your friends and family by unexpectedly taking candid shots of them from around corners with the X-ARM. Only the boundary of your imagination limits how much fun you can have!       Opteka X-ARM Camera Extender Self Portrait Handheld Monopod (extends up to 37") by Opteka  (4 customer reviews) List Price:   $55.00 Price:   $17.00 You Save:   $38.00 (69%) In Stock     M Fathul Hadi requested that we send this e-mail.
