beerme1 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 as they are on the list of prohibited items in the stadium. What the hell is a monopod?
RayFinkle Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I'm not sure, but how dare they tell me I can't bring one in.
IDBillzFan Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's a camera tripod, but with only one leg. Have never used one, but I think they're mostly for professional photographers.
Dan Gross Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 as they are on the list of prohibited items in the stadium.What the hell is a monopod? 737377[/snapback] That's really out-dated. That's what they called I-Pods before they mastered stereophonic sound.
beerme1 Posted August 7, 2006 Author Posted August 7, 2006 It's a camera tripod, but with only one leg. Have never used one, but I think they're mostly for professional photographers. 737384[/snapback] Interesting. And it makes sense! Although I've never heard of monopod, it suprises me that they included that since they do list a tripod. Would there really be an argument at the gate over this issue? Security: you can't bring that in. Guy: why not? Security: no tripods allowed Guy: it's a monopod jackass I guess I could see this happening
drnykterstein Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Can you bring in a tripod, and then when at the game break off two of the legs and get a monopod.
inkman Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 What the hell is a monopod? 737377[/snapback] Sounds like a phallic reference...

generaLee83 Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's a camera tripod, but with only one leg. Have never used one, but I think they're mostly for professional photographers. 737384[/snapback] I've never used one either but I bet it'd make a great spear if you were mad at another fan or player.
Matt in KC Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Can you bring in a tripod, and then when at the game break off two of the legs and get a monopod. 737407[/snapback] Well, it sounds like you can still get in if you only break one leg off of your tripod....
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Well, it sounds like you can still get in if you only break one leg off of your tripod.... 737436[/snapback] Except that you can't bring in the leg you break off, because that would be a monopod. However, if you tie a monopod to a tripod, then it's a quadripod, and you can bring them both in.
Ramius Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Why the hell would anyone want to bring an amoeba into a bills game?!? http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cgi-bin/omd?que...tion=Search+OMD
Guffalo Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Except that you can't bring in the leg you break off, because that would be a monopod. However, if you tie a monopod to a tripod, then it's a quadripod, and you can bring them both in. 737439[/snapback] Yet Bipods are not prohibited , so you could bring a bipod, and then break it off and have two monopods, or a spearing contest.
smuvtalker Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 Cool, I can still bring my quadpod. 737413[/snapback]
GG Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 That really sucks. Back in the film days, I would actually lug my camera and big lens in, and needed the monopod to support the lens. My guess is that it's not so much for security, but to prevent easier videotaping.
X. Benedict Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 This is the 20th century people. It is a shame that we still discriminate based on how many pods a guy has.
OnTheRocks Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 It's a camera tripod, but with only one leg. Have never used one, but I think they're mostly for professional photographers. 737384[/snapback] i have one. but i am not a professional photographer.
Astrobot Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I have a monopod, too. As some of my videos were blurry last Thursday, I was going to bring it. Guess I'll have to rest my camera on the fence, or bring one of them tabletop tripods that fits in my pocket. But if the security guard hassles me, we're going mono a mono.
