DuoPod supports you in more ways than one - by combining the advantages of a tripod with those of a monopod.
The UNI-LOC DuoPod helps you save wieght and remain highly agile, when you are shooting fluidly changing situations. Monopods provide good vertical stability but lack horizontal stability. Whilst a monopod is fine for most photographic still shots, it remains virtually useless for use with pan and tilt heads - especially fluid heads - unless the rotation about its axis can be eliminated. The use of a fluid head is crucial for obtaining smooth pan movements for film and video shots. With the introduction of the DuoPod, you can now eliminate this rotational movement.
The DuoPod is not a replacement for the tripod, instead it dramatically widens the use and commercial potential of a monopod for both still and video applications in combination with lightweight fluid heads which could not previously be utilised with standard monopods. |
