Ries Monopod

The Ries Monopod, designed in response to photographers' requests for a compact and lightweight monopod for field use, is useful when extra support is needed for the small hand camera, or use in sporting events and action photography. It is also an ideal brace for larger cameras during windy conditions, or when long lenses require additional stability. Zippered cordura carrying case included.

Ries Tripods
I've owned a number of different tripods over the years, aluminum, wood, and more recently carbon fiber. Wood tripods are amazing in their ability to take abuse and keep on going.
