I would say my tripod. I photographed for months before I purchased one. At first I bought a monopod and never used it and it is still unused. I broke the top off my tripod last Monday when I stumbled into a wall, well it was either into the wall or over the cliff edge on a very, very windy day at South Stack in Anglesey. I have since purchased a more sturdy tripod with a 3-way panhead and it's brilliant and so easy to use.
