I have a very sturdy Manfrotto monopod that I would like to convert for use as a Glidecam-type stabilizer by adding weights at the bottom.
The Manfrotto monopod came with a round screw-mount base at the top. It isn't very large, probably about 2 inches in diameter.
My question is: is it safe to mount my PD-150 directly to this round base when using as it as a homebuilt stabilizer? or do I need a larger 'platform' between the round screw-mount on the monopod and the PD-150?
