My monopod is spinning out of control! I recently realized that my monopod has a round rubber tip, and on rough services I hadn't noticed any trouble.

The rubber tip gripped and provided steady shots... but when I use my pod on smooth services it tends to spin (or pivot) from left to right freely on the round tip! This caused some shaky video footage during my latest video recording and today we're going to FiX the problem.

  • What camera & lens did you have on the monopod that you were spinning?

  • @LifeWithAnAngel ...it's a fake prop, I'm not sure what lens it's replicating, but the body is made to look like a Canon camera. :D (i'd never spin my real camera like that)

  • about 1:15 the screen of the camera seems to be broken o_O

  • @thephpjo that was just the plastic of the lcd screen protector

  • can we get some more props

  • @jmc3010 yes, i think it's time. stay tuned
