The Bogen/Manfrotto 562B is a four-section fluid video monopod for use with camcorders weighing up to 17.6 lbs (8.0 kg). What sets this video monopod apart from others is the unique fluid-effect cartridge in the base which provides slippery-smooth pans in a minimal footprint. The sliding camera plate has both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 mounting studs in addition to a standard video pin, and provides adjustment for uneven payloads. The 5626B folds down to a sleek 27.2" (69.0 cm) for transport, and carries the iron-clad Bogen/Manfrotto 2-year warranty for parts and labor.
