Digital camera reviews of Manfrotto 680B Monopod (4-SCTN) - Replaces 680 (Black)
Digital camera Review: Good, but....
Summary: 3 Stars
Good parts: It's sturdy, it feels like it will last a long time, securely attaches to camera, quick, smooth telescoping action, good quality, easier and quicker to set up than a tripod, great for the price.
Not so good parts: I feel it's not all that useful without the separate head so you might as well figure that into the cost. You can't shoot profile, which I do, a lot of the time, very well like it is. Without it the tilt head, it's just a big ol' handle sticking out the side and is awkward.
It's a little heavy for backpacking - might go with a carbon version instead if money isn't the deciding factor.
The rubber tip on the bottom is rounded so getting a good grip on a surface like a rock, or anything that is solid, flat is difficult. It wants to roll or slip on me. A flat, swivel foot like I've seen on some tripods would be much more stable. I may try to find something at the hardware store, or photo store and alter it myself.
My info: I use a Canon EOS Rebel XTI, usually with either a 100mm macro lens, or 28-135mm. Avid hobby photographer hoping to turn pro when I retire from my current job. Shoot a couple hours daily. Will probably buy the extra head and modify the foot and continue to use this monopod some of the time.
