So if you travel a lot like myself you love to take great photos of where you've been.  I have a nice DSL camera but it's a little heavy.  I don't want to carry around or pack a sturdy tripod with me so I picked up this great little mono-pod.  It's light and folds up small enough to fit in a medium size suitcase.  It's really comes in handy if you want to take videos.  It takes all the weight off you from trying to hold the camera steady for a long period of time like filming the parade at Walt Disney.

This is a cheap and very good quality  Mono-Pod
