p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Monopod tilt head: RRS MH Series vs Surui L10 | |
I've been doing some research on a monopod head for my Feisol 1471 monopod, 5D III and 200 2.0 set up for shooting my children’s sports (tball, eventually baseball, soccer, possibly gymnastics in the years ahead).
I went to B&H and was impressed with the build quality of the Surui L10 head and felt it was similar to the typical build quality of RRS products. With the Surui L10 priced at half the RRS MH-01 (I already have a RRS plate for the 200 2.0, so there wouldn't be an incremental cost there), it seems like the only thing I’m really giving up is the ability to shift the monopod plate 90 degrees to use it with a plated camera body/short lens combo.
My question to those who use monopods for sports photography is, how often do you shoot with short lenses on a monopod? Wouldn't you tend to handhold the camera in those instances?
Considering the RRS made the MH-02, allowing tool-free shifting of the head, there must be people who frequently use it. Before I purchase the Surui L10, I wanted to check and see if I’m making a mistake trying to save myself some money.
Thanks in advance for any help.
