Tripods Reviews for Weight

694 Monopod

$183.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Sal", www.bhphotovideo.com
it can hold so much weight.
from www.amazon.com
i owned a velbon aluminum monopod (about $40 on amazon) and it was ok, but the legs started to slide from the weight and the rubber foot fell off.
from www.amazon.com
unfortunately, the manfrotto 488rc4 midi ball swivel head and quick release mounting plate i put on it increased it's weight substantially.
from www.amazon.com
i have bought this monopod and i have been impressed by the built quality and the light weight of this product.
from www.amazon.com
the only negative thing i see about this package is that the head is extremely heavy for this monopod.

from www.adorama.com
i'm still learning how to effectively use a monopod for sports photography, but since this tripod is relatively lightweight and easy to use, i don't mind carrying it along.
from www.adorama.com
i use this as a alternative in the field for wildlife since it is easy and light weight but sturdy enough for most shots.
from www.amazon.com
since it is light, it might not be completely stable if you have a heavy camera or lens, but you can hang ballast (such as a camera bag) to the top to give it more weight and stability.
from www.adorama.com
i wanted this one for his particular shape and because it was only 2.5 lbs, but it's a small error, in fact his weight is 3.2 lbs.
from www.adorama.com
i like the light weight monfrotto better-easier set up- just as light but sturdier.
