[dont mean to hijack the thread, but this is related]

how big of a deal is having a tilt or not on a monopod? (562B vs. 561B)

also, has anyone used the HVX with the 560B?

it has tilt, but it made for lighter cameras. Too flimsy for an HVX?

thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Have one along with the Sachtler. We use the monopod occasionally in tight situations as you say.

Sets up quickly, and works decently. It will not stand on its own.
