monopod

A monopod is a single-legged support device used to stabilize cameras or smartphones, helping to reduce shake and improve image sharpness. It functions similarly to a tripod but with only one leg, making it more portable and easier to carry. By holding or mounting a camera on a monopod, photographers can achieve steadiness during shots, especially in low light or when using telephoto lenses. It's ideal for situations where mobility is important, such as sports events or outdoor photography, providing added stability without the bulk of a full tripod.
