Awesome quality and design!

Wow. This is the mercedes benz of monopods. Very rugged for hiking. Innovative and elegant mounting system. Nice sturdy handle with wrist strap. I think this is going to be a good friend for photographic adventures for years to come. Can't believe the quality for the price. Glad I didn't go for the $20 cheapo.

Amazingly Strong and Light

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.

Great and useful

I've had a really cheap, junky tripod for years. For my birthday a couple of months ago, I decided to get a new, decent tripod and head. I went to a camera shop and tried out one of the tripods I was interested in. While I was there, I played around with some of the monopods they had. On a lark, I bought the Manfrotto 679. I figured I wouldn't use it too much, but it would come in handy on occassion. I went back to the camera shop a couple of days later and picked up the tripod I was eyeing. The tripod is very nice, and I think I'm glad I have it. But so far the monopod goes everywhere my camera goes, and my new ballhead has been on my monopod since I bought it. I use it all the time. I normally brace it against something, so it works even better. The tripod I bought? It's still sitting in the box somewhere around my house.

One Solid Monopod!

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.

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.

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.

Great Monopod and Walking Stick

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.

This black anodized three section monopod features sure rubber grip, wrist carrying strap, quick action lever leg lock system with 45? flip, large 2.3" camera/head platform with plastic cover and dual 1/4-20" - 3/8" camera screw.
