Manfrotto Element MII Reviews

Great product

Rated 5 out of 5

Perfect for shooting from stadium seats or for quick roadside shots.

Love the spring-loaded 3/8 option

By Eric

I bought this to shoot with my Fuji GX680 partially hand-held(!). It has worked really well for that since the 680 has a 3/8 tap and it threads in really fast. It also works well for more mundane shooting with the GFX 100S, especially with the 3/8 tap in the Leofoto cage. When fully extended it might be a little more wobbly than my old Slik monopod, which had only two sections.

The camera mounting screw is much larger than on my dslr. What adapter do I need?
Asked by: Martin
The mounting thread on this monopod has a smaller mounting thread inside the larger one. You just have to push down on the edge of the larger one to expose the smaller one on the inside.

Can a non-Manfrotto head be used with this monopod? Could a head with Arca-Swiss QR plates be used instead?
Asked by: Erik
Yes, the Manfrotto Element MII Video Monopod can work with most heads. The top is a 3/8 inch male thread which is standard and reversible 1/4 inch thread. So most heads have that connection.
