Manfrotto Monopé 676B Digi

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

I borrowed this model from a friend and liked it enough to buy myself one. It is compact and light weight compared to my tri-pod. Works great where a tri-pod is too big and in the way. Holds my camera steady and easily adjusts for horizontal or vertical pictures. If you are looking for a modest priced monopod - go for it. I've dropped it a few times and it seems to be holding up fine.

This four section light-weight monopod is a great improvement over some of Manfrotto's older monopods. It really holds the weight that it was supposed to. The fliplock clamps really hold and the cost is bearable. I can't really say anything that could be wrong with it.

The black anodized metal is good for being outdoors when you don't want to distract wildlife.

Used with the 234RC SWIVEL TILT HEAD/QCK REL (3229)and my canon 5D it's great for good camera mobility for model shoots with sharpness way beyond what you would expect for hand held shots.

I picked this monopod after reading other reviews. It is exactly what I wanted - light weight without a huge cost. I carry it attached to a sling bag while skiing or hiking. It is easy to open and close and attach to my DSLR with 70 - 200 lens, even in cold weather on the side of a ski hill. I did change the wrist strap and added a quick release latch.

The 676B Digi Monopod has been a huge help to my photography. It allows me to have steadiness comparable to a tripod and flexibility comparable to handholding. Now, I'm not sure how I ever got along without it. My photos are more often in focus in low light situations, but not hindered by immobilization.

I walked through Patagonia for three weeks with this monopod as both my monopod and a collapsible walking stick the entire time. It was never designed for that, of course, and the bottom plastic part rubbed through, but it works perfectly. The most I put on it was a 1D MkII and a 70-200 F4 and I didn't have any complaints. Well worth the money.

The only problem is the strap. It keeps coming undone, but it's nothing that a little gaffers tape can't fix.

This monopod was just what I needed. I've been photographing my boys sporting events for years either handheld or with a tripod. I finally decided to get a monopod and I'm glad I did. This monopod is lightweight, easy to use and small enought to fit in my chair bag for transportation. I usually use my Canon 5D with a 70-200 lens and this monopod carries them with a sturdy feel. Now I just walk up and down the field, stop and start shooting. No trying to find something to steady myself on or opening a clunky tripod. I'm delighted with the Digi Monopod by Bogen.

Very good product. Excellent for the price.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

compact, and lightweight. Perfect for weddings. I use it primarily as a flash stick for off-camera flash. Would definitely recommend this product. Great value!

Love this item, particularly when hiking

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

I use it as an extension to get very high or very low shots where it is just the camera attached and set either on remote or timer. It is a bit longer than I planned but still works well. The only poor thing on it is the strap, which is just not well designed and keeps coming undone.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

I had this monopod recommended to me by many photographer friends. I bought it and used it for a wedding and for a night photography shoot. Not as stable as a tripod (of course) so you can't get AS long of exposures, but it worked wonderfully for my needs. (Needed smaller and more compact support.) Definitely worth the $$.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

Very satisfied. I like the fact that it can retract so small. Easy to carry.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

Clean smooth operation. The strap is useless. It would have been better had they included a step-up bushing, but you can't have everything.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

This lightweight monopod stores easily, opens with unbelievable ease, and is used almost everytime I am not using a tripod. Had one for three years when the opening clasp on one leg broke. Too late for warranty, so I purchased another as I can't shoot without it.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

A very well made and constructed monopod. This product is very lightweight and does exactly what it is meant to do.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

The monopod is compact, easy to use and is perfect for use with my digital camera.

Comments about Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 676B Digi Monopod:

This Bogen monopod is very light and compact, but also very solid in use. Unlike my Bogen tripod, it is very quick to set up and use - and delivers 90% of the functionality of the tripod with 30% of the bulk and weight. I also use it as a sturdy walking stick when scrambling to those tricky perches to get the shot. I have used it to support my EF 100-400 lens with full confidence and superb results, even as a "stabilizer" while tracking moving targets.
