question

I bought this to use with my Nikon 5200 and once I got it I realized it doesn't fit on the monopod, the screw is bigger than the camera has. Is there any solution to this or should I just return?

question

I am not certain which monopod to buy. I have been looking at the Sirui P-204S Aluminum Photo/Video Monopod. The cost between this one (Surui) and the Benro is significant. Is there any real difference? I think the Surui is a bit more stable- legs are longer and wider. I would be using with a Nikon D90, 7000 with and without a 80-200 zoom plus a battery drive ( with and without). Any thoughts?
Asked by: Harvey
The Benro monopod can withhold a significantly larger load capacity (39.7 pounds), has a shorter folding length, flip locks, and is more lightweight.

is this good for a beginner? I have a coolpix 950 and need to take pics in low light (theater) or moving targets (sports).
Asked by: Deborah
Yes, the Benro A38FD Series 3 Aluminum Monopod with 3-Leg Locking Base is good for a beginner. Nikon coolpix P950 is not an ideal camera but this will help you stabilize the camera.

One of the reviews said it does not fit his Sigma 600 lens ring. Others comments said take that mount out and flip it to reveal the 1/4inch mount. Will that fit a Sigma 600 lens mount?Is this true?
