I was looking for a monopod that was tall, strong and easy to use. After reading the reviews I took the plunge. I actually was concerned about the price being to low for a quality product. When I received the monopod I was amazed at the quality and attention to detail. The screw is unique in that the larger screw is spring loaded and slips down to reveal the smaller screw size - works great. The clasp are very smooth and tight. The monopod is very rigid even with my heaviest lens. This is an excellent monopod. I have owned two other monopods and had issue with rigidity, weight and clasps. These are no longer concerns with Manfrotto.

Sturdy!

It is what it is. A nice sturdy monopod. Not the lightest, but very sturdy.

Solid performer for the money
rating: 5
Bogen/Manfrotto produces very decent products for the money. Are they the best? No, Gitzo carbon fiber is probably the best, but at 3-4x the cost. If you are an avid amateur, this monopod represents a greta value. I purchased a Bogen 3011 tripod over 20 years ago and it still works great. Highly recommended.

just learning it all....

I just got a canon 40D and am hoping to shoot some photos out on the soccer field. I bought this after hearing much about the Bogen-Manfrotto name. There are a bunch of similar looking monopods for sale, and I couldn't tell you how they all compare or differ from each other. Still, the price on this one was good, and I got it with the 3229 ballhead. The camera can mount to the monopod without the ballhead, but it just feels better with it, and also you can't tilt the camera sideways on the monopod without the ballhead on it, otherwise you are picking up the whole monopod. This may seem simple to some people, but I never had a monopod or nice camera before, so I didn't understand all these little things. I did take the monopod to some soccer games, and it made shooting nice and easy. I don't see how I could have done it without the monopod.
Overall, its a good quality item at a good price, so I am happy with it.

Mono Pod
rating: 5
This product was advised to me from POTN.......photography on the net forums. Awesome group of people there. This monopod functions great, quick and easy. It is very sturdy and has really helped my percentage of keeper shots w/ 30D and shooting soccer. Very light and strong.....just wish it came with a case or bag....other than that, I recommend this versatile, lightweight mono!!
