I always wanted to have a monopod to support the <strong>weight of my heavy gimbal setup <\/strong>and also to have a <strong>more stable footage<\/strong> for example when hiking. I already have a 3-legged-tripod but with a monopod I think I am much <strong>quicker and more flexible <\/strong>when I am doing run-and-gun filming, for example when I am travelling with a group of people. So I was very happy that Moman sent it to me for review. Please read on to see if it can help me and you in making better pictures and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Video Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure
