 Excellent lightweight monopod |
| Review Date: May 26, 2009 |
| Reviewer: David Allen Holmes, |
| I've been using tri and monopods that I had purchased for use with SLR and DSLR cameras. While these are extremely sturdy there is a weight and size penalty. This little Manfrotto monopod is very light, but remarkably robust. I've used it quite a bit with my superzoom digicam, as well as a DSLR, and it holds up just fine. I recommend it highly. |
Light & Strong enough

| I use this with my Nikon D90, and find it plenty strong for situations where a tripod is not allowed or just too clumsy to tote. Probably not strong enough to lift the side of your Hummer to change a tire, but to stabilize any camera you can lift, it should be fine. I think weight vs strength ratio is perfect, unless you want to spend $$$ for carbon fiber. Others mentioned the strap tends to slip, which I found to be true as well. I replaced mine with a similar size strip of hook-loop strap. Overall nice product. |
Double Duty!

On a recent trip to Tuscany, I used this monopod as both a camera stabilizer and a walking stick.
As a camera stabilizer, the Manfretto worked very well -- especially since I attached it to the lightweight Kodak PlaySport.
As a walking stick, the Manfretto worked well, but with two qualifications:
*** The strap does tend to slip.
I solved that problem with the help of Giorgio, who runs the Lauderia in Castellina in Chianti.
With the strap adjusted for my hand, Giorgio applied some electrical tape to the strap.
No more slipping after that.
*** I wore out the foot-pad for the monopod.
Well, it took me a week. But on the eighth day, I 'clicked' when I walked.
I had injured my knee just before the trip, so I was asking the monopod to perform double duty as a cane.
BTW: There was no issue in my taking this 'cane' through LAX security.
Overall, this was a great to have on our trip.
On the way home, it fit easily into my 21" roll-on bag. |
Thought it was a little more solid

| This was from Manfrotto so I thought that the metal would be a little more rigid. It seems that it would be easily bent. This does on the other hand make it very light so it is easy to take hiking. I needed it for wedding so that my assistant could hold the flash where it needs to be rather then setup a stand. It works for me we will see this summer how well it does. |
