Great monopod for the price October 2, 2008
Jeffery
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.
Wonderful September 22, 2008

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.
Great Monopod and Walking Stick June 15, 2008

This is perfect for anyone needing a medium-weight monopod that can do double duty as a walking stick. br / br /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.
Amazingly Strong and Light March 30, 2008

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.
One Solid Monopod! January 19, 2008

I have never owned a monopod before, so I had no idea what to look for in this type of product. I turned to the helpful reviews here on Amazon.com to assist me in my selection. It became quite clear that the Bogen-Manfrotto line was the best choice due to the rave reviews they receive. I decided to go with the three section, black anodized model, as it seemed like the best, most cost effective model to choose from here on Amazon. I wanted a carbon fiber model but they were out of my price range. br / br /I am very impressed with this Bogen-Manfrotto monopod. It is fairly light weight, easy to use, quick to setup, and it straps very nicely to my Canon 100DG Bag for Canon SLR Cameras. I can't stress enough just how solid the build is of this monopod. It is strong and shows no sign of fatigue with my Canon 40D digital SLR camera, Canon 580EX flash and my Canon 70-300mm IS/USM lens attached. I think it is important to note that you should mate a quality built swivel/tilt or ball head to this monopod. I chose the Bogen-Manfrotto 486RC2 Compact Ball Head with RC2 Rapid Connect System for mine, which I am also very impressed with. br / br /I will not go into detail about the specifications of this item, as you can easily find this information in the description here on Amazon. All I can say is, from a users standpoint, this Bogen-Manfrotto monopod is awesome! If you are looking for a high quality monopod for your still or digital camera, I would highly recommend that you purchase this model. Although I have to be honest about the fact that I have no reference to compair this model to, I must insist that I am not basing my review on using lightweight equipment with this monopod. My camera, lens and flash combination place a fair amount of weight on this device, and it has proven to be a rock solid stabilizing device for shooting pictures. For the lost cost of this model I just can't see how you can go wrong.
