Title: Absolutely must have for run and gun shooting!
Review: Purchased this for a couple wedding gigs I had lined up. It is fantastic! It’s super light weight and easy to get around with on set. I even replaced my regular tripod with this because of how portable and efficient this monopod is!Depending on the camera you place on this monopod it’s pretty sturdy. I have tried both the SonyA7IV & SonyA6500, both are pretty study on the monopod. I can leave it with the camera and not worry about it tipping. Obviously once you had more stuff to the rig and if there are harsh winds, it is pretty dangerous to just leave it alone. Tbh if those are the shooting conditions, you either bring a tripod or just stand next to the monopod while recording!Highly recommend to anyone that needs and on the go type of monopod.

Title: Great solid monopod
Review: Though this unit is a little heavy, it’s very well built. The handle is solid rubber with flat sides that makes it easy to grip. Panning is silky smooth and i love the ability to flip down the legs to steady it while i’m filming. I paired this with a Desmond DB-44 ball head, which is perfect for this monopod.Pluses: Smaller than most monopods, and flip locks need very little travel, to opening and closing them can be done quickly and easily.Cons: Even though there’s a metal collar at the bottom that locks the monopod and prevents it from moving in all directions, there’s still slight wobble to the monopod with it locked and legs extended. If the collar was more robust, that would make it more study (if you place a heavy camera on the monopod, it will lean just slightly because there’s not enough support at that collar joint).Note: even with it locked, you CAN rotate the monopod left or right – there’s no way to lock down the panning on it (though i have no problem with that)If you want a case for it, get the Slik Tripod Case 24-Inch Medium, which fits it perfectly with a half inch to spare, if you use a ball head with it. Overall a great monopod. If the carbon fiber version wasn’t so much more expensive, i’d definitely get that, as it’s a pound lighter, but i’m happy with this unit so far.

Title: Great Design For Stable Work
Review: I’m switching from a Manfrotto monopod to this, and I have to say I liked it from the start. Easy to deploy (though I do sometimes try to open the wrong section–the feet help stabilize the camera for the shots I need for real estate photography and general use. I mostly keep the bottom pivot locked, but it’s so easy to use I use it.This is a very nice monopod-ish device that I use almost every shoot, and can only extoll its virtues and find little to complain about (weight, but, it does have those nice feet at the bottom).

Title: Great product.
Review: This monopod is great, except the little connector to attach it to the product (in my case an audio recorder) has become loose and so it wiggles around a bit and isn’t tight. This doesn’t matter that much for me but if it was attached to a camera it would. I can’t see any way to tighten it. Other than that, it is awesome, lightweight, sturdy and easy to use.

Title: Manfrotto monopods work best.
Review: Though somewhat pricy, Manfrotto products are durable, and work well.I have three monopods, and purchased this aluminum monopod as a quick replacement for my carbon fiber monopod I foolishly forgot at the airport. (No one has turned that monopod in!)This has a heavier load capacity, and I use a full frame mirrorless camera on it without fear.WARNING: it is a monopod. Hold on to your camera at all times.That said, this monopod works very well.

Title: The videographer’s best friend.
Review: Lightweight, fast, tall, and the fluid base is a must. If you do happen to purchase the fluid base, beware of blindly reaching down to fold and unfold the legs. There were some metal shards or splinters near the latch for the locking legs or the swivel lock that weren’t removed during the manufacturing process maybe. I cut my finger on something down there twice during the first 48 hours of owning it, and I wasn’t grabbing it in a weird spot or anything. But anyway, my injuries weren’t the monopod’s fault, and I’m standing by it until the end. Some may say I’m crazy, some may call it abuse, but I call it…… “love.”

Title: Fatal Design Flaw in Foot – BE AWARE
Review: This monopod relies on a small aluminum threaded bolt to attach the base to the monopod. This has snapped on 2 different units we have purchased. We did make regular use of these – both aluminum and carbon fiber – and both broke in the exact same place. Once this one broke I took it apart only to discover the entire load is transferred down to the base on this 4 mm bolt made from aluminum. A joint like this should be more resilient at this cost point in my opinion.I have reached out to Manfrotto in an effort to get a new bolt – 3 attempts – no response.Be aware if you plan to purchase and make heavy use – your base may snap off from the monopod.

Title: Everyday use!
Review: I am a professional videographer and this thing rocks! I love that I don’t have to set up a tripod when I am on the go. It is very sturdy for my larger lensed camera. When I had a problem with on the latches I was able to send it in and they fixed it up. The customer service is great!

Review: It’s The Bomb! This is like a step up to “serious kit” for those of us working with video. A cross-over between a tripod and a gimble. I love the silky smooth, air cushioned, pan & tilt head and foot swivels. At the price point, perhaps slightly indulgent, but how seriously. do you take your film making? A little on the heavy side, both physically as well as price-wise, so maybe not for mountaineers, hill walkers and backpackers but more for filmmakers.

Review: 安定させるためのレンチは付属してなかったです。別で用意しました。思い切り締めても耐荷重3，4キロくらいしかないような感じ。コンパクトなムービーならそれでいいかも。場所は取らないし軽いのでその点はいいです。

Review: J’ai eu peur après l’avoir acheté d’avoir fait une bêtise, car la vis ne semblait pas s’adapter à mon bridge Panasonic… Mais en fait le pas de vis est mixte et s’adapte donc aussi bien aux appareils vidéo qu’aux appareils photo, d’autant que le SAV de Manfrotto a été super réactif.Il est très stable, bien long entièrement déplié, son seul défaut est aussi un de ses avantages : la base du pied peut pencher un peu, utile pour pencher le monopode, mais moins si on a besoin de rester droit et fixe comme un trépied, à savoir avant de l’acheter
