The monopod is in almost new condition as its only be used a few times, its about 4 months old. It includes the bag for carrying it as well.

Here are some photo's:

fill me in son, why is this called a monopod?
I`m guessing because it only has one foot?

Aye, you got it one fella!

Tripod = 3 legs - tri = three
Monopod = 1 leg - mono = single

Monopods are more portable and better for when you have less space and a less stable ground. They also take less time to setup and look less gimpy lol.

However, they are not as stable as tripods for obvious reasons, you usually lean them against something, but even without doing this they can make the world of difference, especially at the telephoto end. A lot of pro's have converted to them nowadays.

Tis a good and well built piece of kit - I just have no use for it anymore. And its taking up space in my boot.

Cheers fella, gotta be worth a fiver then?

Hehe not takin a five for it am afraid, at that price a may as well just put it away keep it for if a ever do need it lol. Tenner is the price am stickin to me guns

Cheapest ye will buy it for in the shops tomorrow (in pretty much the same condition, as new) is £15 upwards.

Might consider a swap/add money to the equasion for any ND filters (ratings of between 3 and 60 is useful) and possibly PL filters (if you dont know what they are, you wont have any so dont worry lol).
