The Optical Wizard: Brunton Monopod

Life in the 21st century can sure smack of over-complication. Which is what makes Brunton's adjustable Monopod such a pleasure. A simple, lightweight (9.5 ounces) aluminum-finished staff that Gandalf would be happy to wield across the rocky ranges of Middle Earth, the Monopod goes where you go without a fuss, plus it can be used to steady cameras, binoculars, or spotting scopes. A rubberized tip keeps things in place on the rough end of things, while you can focus on that tawny owl in the far distance or get off that long-exposure shot of aurora borealis. Pair it with Brunton's powerful Eterna binocs, and we think you'll get the picture. Length can be adjusted up to five feet. Monopod: $80; Eterna binoculars: $249-$599; www.brunton.com
