Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN

$56.00 Est. at Amazon

from "Rick of wild image", www.adorama.com
with bogen ball head it makes a rigid single instrument for camera and even long lenses that serves as a hiking pole w/ camera.
from www.amazon.com
i use a nikon d200, usually with a nikkor 17-55 lens (fairly heavy setup), so this monopod is probably overkill, considering that it can hold like 26 lbs.
from "MT", www.adorama.com
i'll use this when out in the field with longer lenses.
from www.amazon.com
this isn't an issue if you're screwing the monopod directly into the camera/lens mount, but is if you're planning to mount a ball or tilt head on top.
from www.amazon.com
i wanted to take photos at the arizona renaissance festival using my canon 135mm f/2 and canon 70-200 f2.8 l lens.

very well made sturdy product, purchased it recently and have been using it ever since, my d70s and a 18-70mm or a 55-200mm lens is easily supported by this tripod.
from www.amazon.com
i added a manfrotto mini ball head for even more flexibility, i won't recommend using it with large lenses.
from www.amazon.com
so for a travel monopod i would highly recommend it for a compact dslr and moderate zoom lens.
from www.amazon.com
it's sturdy enough for a nikon d40 or d90 with an 18-200 zoom lens and gives you just the right amount of support for the job.
from www.amazon.com
i spent 3 weeks in europe with my pentax k100d, da 16-45 f/4 lens, and one of these - and i am really happy that i bought it before i left.

shooting with a nikon f100 with 24mm and 50 mm lense- telephoto lenses probably would be too much.
from www.amazon.com
i am amazed how light this tripod is, and yet how rock solid it is with my nikon d300 with an 80-400mm zoom lens.
from www.amazon.com
i've used it with rrs ball head from my main tripod with a nikon d300 and three different lenses and it's done what i purchased it to do.

from "Martin", www.bhphotovideo.com
this is a good tripod for medium weight camera and lenses.
from www.adorama.com
folds small enough to fit in my motorcycle bag yet strong enough to support my 200mm - 400mm nikon lens.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
for some pictures of me using the tripod with a canon 5d and canon 24-70mm 2.8l lens.
from www.bhphotovideo.com
it's lighter than a lot of my lenses and it's so compact.

it is small, light and can hold up to 8kg which is more than enough to hold a 70-200mm f2.8 lens.
from www.amazon.com
certainly, my normal tripod better suits the weight of the nikon with a decent lens, and the 1541 cannot match its strength and stability.
from www.amazon.com
i recently used the tripod and a nikon d300 with an 80-400 mm lens on a trip that involved getting in and out of small boats to visit islands.
from www.amazon.com

from "Goodnight", www.bhphotovideo.com
other people said that it was all right for full size camera, but if you put a three pound camera and lens on a three pound tripod, ( and extend the legs) you had better keep one hand on the tripod!!
from www.amazon.com
i have used this tripod with my 70-300mm is lens on my canon xti and am more then happy with it.
from www.amazon.com
if you will be using large lens you may want a hever system which means more money, so as i said good product for the money.
from www.amazon.com
i needed a reasonably decent tripod for a canon eos 30d with a 70-300mm zoom tele lens, but i didn't want to break the bank.
from www.amazon.com
first, it is takes some effort to point the lens to designated target.
