Abstract
A subaquatic monopod for photographic equipment is disclosed. The subaquatic monopod is adapted from a standard telescoping monopod. A photographer affixes anchoring weights to a base of the monopod and affixes flotation devices to an upper end of the monopod. The photographer affixes anchoring weights of sufficient mass to hold the base on a bottom surface of a body of water. The underwater photographer affixes flotation devices of sufficient buoyancy to steady the monopod in a vertical position, without lifting the monopod and attached photographic equipment from the bottom surface. The photographer places or “throws” the subaquatic monopod into position on the bottom surface. The photographer can then record photographic images without manually steadying the photographic equipment. The subaquatic monopod optionally includes a ring for attachment of a retrieval line. The retrieval line allows deployment and retrieval from a distance (including by a photographer who is not underwater).
