Monopod - a kind of tripod, which has only one "leg". Often, a monopod is a stick for selfie - a kind of tripod, designed to make better images.
You can use monopod not only with the camera, but also with various portable devices: tablet, smartphone, ipad, etc. To understand the intricacies of using a monopod is not at all difficult, but it must first be connected. So, let's find out what are the features of connecting a monopod to different types of equipment.
How to connect a monopod to the phone?
To begin with, monopods are different - they can work with bluetooth or be equipped with a wire that connects the device to the phone.
How to connect a monopod with a wire to the phone is understandable intuitively. You need to insert the wires into the headphone jack, and fix the phone with a fastener. Then go to the camera settings and there to change the sound button to the camera button. This method is suitable for any device running on the Android platform or Windows. As for Apple, these gadgets do not need this configuration - it happens automatically.
As you know, bluetooth monopod with a button appeared later than the model with a wire, and connect it even easier. To do this, turn on the bluetooth function in the phone's settings, and then "find" a monopod device (in the device list it can be designated as iselfie or as the name of your monopod model). You just have to connect the bluetooth connection with the found monopod, turn on the camera and start taking pictures!
How to connect a monopod to the camera?
Monopod can be connected not only to the smartphone. If you want to make high-quality pictures selfi you can, using a camera. However, for this, he must either have a bluetooth (which is rare for a camera), or be connected using a remote control. The latter - the most convenient option: the lack of a button on such a stick for selfie is compensated by a convenient remote control, where you can even adjust the zoom.
The only, perhaps, disadvantage of such a monopod is the inability to install a SLR camera due to its impressive overall dimensions and weight. But for professional cameras there are appropriate tripods, so we do not consider this issue. Another possibility is to use a monopod as a conventional telescopic tube. In this case, the button is not used, and the picture is taken with the camera using a timer with a delay of 5-10 seconds. This is not very practical, so users prefer to use the remote control.
So, how does the monopod work with the console and how to connect it? Remote photo shooting using a miniature remote is very convenient. This control is achieved through the connection via Bluetooth. Turning it on, you will see a blinking blue light bulb - this means that the console is working and ready. Next we connect the bluetooth device, as described in the previous paragraph.
Keep in mind that the market sells a lot of fakes for well-known brands, and with the connection
If you still have difficulty connecting, try to cope with it in one of the following ways:
- restart your smartphone;
- put the monopod on the charge (about 1 hour);
- cancel the bluetooth interface with the monopod, click the "Forget device" button and establish a new connection;
- download the program "Camera 360" and take pictures through it.
