The professional photographer must buy equipment and accessories necessary to do the job at hand. Here I am checking out a monopod. Monopods are an absolute necessity for situations were a tripod is not allowed. You would be amazed where you can't take a tripod. A good example is the observation lounge at the top of the Stratosphere Hotel & Casino. Also you can not use a tripod at football games so a monopod is needed to support the heavy telephoto lenses used here.
You will notice I also am holding a roll of gaffer tape. No professional photographer can do his job without this accessory. Gaffer tape is used for all sorts of things in the studio and on location. You use it to tape your background to the floor, attach your wireless remote trigger to a light stand, tape up a reflector or scrim, tape down wires to prevent tripping, and any other number of uses.
