Doing this is certainly good for creativity, but one important thing that should be added to the tip is to secure your camera to the monopod with a piece of wire, string, or at the very least the camera’s own strap. The sheering forces that will be applied to the monopod screw will be greater than ever intended so there is an increased risk of the camera snapping away. That’s a bad thing if you’re holding it over a stream. It’s a terrible thing if you’re holding it off the edge of a building, or over a group of people.
