Bogen/Giotto Monopod Combos

Hey monopod fans- we've put together some great monopod combinations. These are the ultimate in portability and simplicity for binocular support. Ideal for sweeping the Milky Way. Only a Universal Astronomics Unimount offers a similar freedom of motion- but you wouldn't want to take a Unimount on a hike. The Giotto 9780 is the biggest monopod we've ever seen- it extends to 70" tall, yet collapses to just 20". The tubing is large in diameter, with very substantial twist locks, so the entire monopod is exceptionally solid and wobble-free- yet the weight is only 1.7 lbs. Even when viewing straight up, a 6-footer can stand under the binoculars. We considered offering a variety of monopods, but this one is so perfect for binocular usage that there's just no point in offering something else for a few dollars less. We offer it with two types of heads- a simple swivel tilt head (Bogen/Manfrotto 234) or a "Grip-Action" Ball Head (Bogen/Manfroot 222). With the grip-action head, you can tilt the binoculars to any altitude from horizon to zenith, simply by squeezing the lever, and then letting go to lock in place. Either of these combinations can easily handle up to 80mm binoculars. This also a great way to use your camera and/or video camera. Note: Most binoculars will also require an "L" adapter.
