5 out of 5 stars Excellent photo essential   December 31, 2008
You want to take your camera to the deepest canyon's, muddiest trails, rockiest cliffs, and darkest forest. You don't want an accessory that's cheaply built, clumsy or cumbersome. You want to get intimate with your surroundings and you don't want a monopod that's going to slow you down.

This affordable monopod is the best buy I've made in the last year. It's rugged, compact, light and easy to set-up. It goes whereever I go and it's made the shot for me in situations that I would've had to bypass a good photo cause the light was too low. I have more crystal clear images with good depth of field thanks to this product.

And when I don't have my camera on it, it doubles as a great walking stick. I only wish I had bought one sooner!



5 out of 5 stars Great monopod for the price   October 2, 2008

I bought the 679B monopod and 324RC head for use with my Sony A200 and Tamron 70-200/2.8. The body/lens combo weighs about 4 pounds and the Manfrotto mono/head combo handles it very well. The monopod is very well built and quite sturdy. This monopod is well worth the price.

Have had no problems with it. It is easy to use, opens and closes nicely and helps tremendously when taking shots. Perfect if you like to take sports or wildlife shots and need to be mobile.


5 out of 5 stars Great Monopod and Walking Stick   June 15, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is perfect for anyone needing a medium-weight monopod that can do double duty as a walking stick.

Build quality is very good, although the strap connector busted on day 4 when I dropped it onto concrete. I wish they had used a steel connector rather than plastic.



5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Strong and Light   March 30, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This monopod is absolutely the best. It's amazingly strong and so light that I would even consider using it as a walking stick. I highly recommend getting this monopod. The screw mount can fit standard heads, but can also screw directly into the camera. I don't know how to describe it, but the screen has an outter cover the receedes into the body if you try and put a camera on the top without using a separate head. Highly recommended.
