Monopod Recommendations

[Brent Smith]

I'm looking at upgrading my monopod. Any brands/models you would recommend?

I just bought a Manfrotto 694CX carbon fiber 4-section monopod, use it at Homestead with the 500 and it worked great, plus it fits inside my carry on bag.

I have a Velbon Neo Pod 7. Carbon fiber, 4-sections, 66.9" max height, and a $99 price tag. I really like the height adjustment mechanisms (twist to lock) and it's nice and stable with big lenses. I was in B&H playing with this, the Gitzo and Manfrotto... even if money was not an issue, I liked the Velbon more.

I spent a lot of time researching my last monopod purchase and ended up buying a Manfrotto 681B.

That was a few years ago and I haven't had any problems with it.

I have an Induro, and love it, except for the twist lock leg adjusters, they work, and are secure, but not quick like clamp style adjusters would be.
