My Review of Bogen-Manfrotto Three Section Monopod, Black Anodized.


What you pay is what you get - FALSE!

5out of 5

Pros: Opens Quickly, Strong Construction

Best Uses: Sports/Action

Describe Yourself: Pro Photographer

I use the 679B to support my 300mm F2.8 lens. I don't think I will notice the weight difference if I bought a carbon fiber monopod.

This is my 2nd 679B, the locking lever on my first one broke but it was my fault, I overtightened the nut. Rather than buying a replacement locking lever I bought a whole new monopod because of the inexpensive price of a new one. I will eventually buy the replacement part and have that as a backup.

Monopod supported shot.
