Digital camera Review: Bogen-Manfrotto compact 4-Section Monopod
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I've had this for a few years, I would highly recommend this monopod along with the optional swivel head. This is a sturdy, professional quality item and is great in those situations where a tripod is not feasible. The monopod is especially nice with a video camera that has 20x zoom capability. The greater the zoom, the shakier the movie. This unit is also strong enough to double as a walking stick when you are on a photography hike.Digital camera Review: Does exactly what it is indended to do, elegantly
Summary: 5 Stars
I really love this monopod. It's very solidly made, and fits its purpose perfectly. You really have to add the tilt head/quick release to it (can't remember the model, but it's about $25) and then it's really perfect. If I were to buy again, I'd probably go for carbon fiber, but that's not this monopod's fault.Digital camera Review: Excellent value, needs a design tweak for perfection
Summary: 4 Stars
Per the other reviews, this is a fine buy for the money.
The only minor caveat is that, unlike Manfrotto's tripods, there are no locking screws in the top platform. 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. Without the locking screws only friction stops the head unscrewing.
Digital camera Review: Good to steady camera, equally good for home defence.
Summary: 5 Stars
So the "Peacemaker" arrived today.
This is the first monopod i have ever bought. I was not sure what to expect.
To say this is study would be an understatement. You could easily use this bad boy for home defence. Simply select the amount of "reach" you want with this snappy cugdel by extending the legs and you can wreak severe havok upon any unfortunate intruder who had the mistake of choosing your house. And after the carnage and chaos, you can use it to steady the camera to snap a few fun photo's of the aftermath.
That aside, it is relativly light and straps to my flipside 200 pack with ease. The leg locks are strong and secure and you can tell this will hold some weight.
