Actually I just receive my new Monopod (MB 680B with ball head, although
I think I misspoke about this a few days ago). I'm very impressed with
it (it's really solid), and I look forward to not carrying my tripod all
over GFM. It would also make a pretty good weapon, especially with the

Thanks for the feedback. FYI, I finally ordered the 3249 monopod with

Hello Steve,
I have a 3016 - 3 section and a 680B - 4 section. The 4 section has
thicker legs and seems to be very slightly more rigid. That is the
one that I usually use. As for heads, I use the 3229 with quick
release - It is small, light, inexpensive and gets the job done.

I have not used the monopods you have listed, but I do have the Manfrotto

annoying and attracts too much attention. I bought the rubber

That is the one that I usually use. As for heads, I
use the 3229 with quick release - It is small, light,
inexpensive and gets the job done. Generally for most
movements (other than vertical) I just move the pod a bit.
So only when shooting vertical do I have to adjust the head.

I have an old 564-L Mono Studex Luxe, bought it used years ago. I use it as a

I use monopods quite extensively. The two place they can be of great
value is if you are using longer lenses (200mm or greater) - then the
steadiness that comes from the monopod makes it much easier to
compose, focus, etc. You still need to use a reasonable shutter speed
because the

I don't believe in any monopods except very good heavy duty ones. I did a
couple of dog agility trials just because I stumbled across them. Found that
in most cases a zoom in the 80-200/2.8 range seemed to be fine. So even a
light monopod would support it but it would often interfere with panning

1. I have a Bogen of some variety and it is sturdy and adjusts easily and,
with a ballhead on top it works well.
2. It works best with a LX with a SportFinder finder. Using a monopod is
obviously more awkward than handheld, but in some ways it is
