This tutorial will show you how I made a cement base for attaching to a monopod. This project came about because I was searching for a space-saving solution to replace my cumbersome tripod that took up a lot of floor space.

This monopod has turned out to be an ideal solution because I don't trip up on the tripod legs any more (!) and I record all of my videos using this stand.

I hope it proves a useful idea for any Youtubers, video makers and product photographers out there!

Thanks for watching :)
