Benro MSD46C Reviews
effective and efficient design

I am 90 years old, 6'1" and both shoulders have been degraded. This is just what I needed for my Z8 - 600mm lens when lugging a tripod is not desirable. I really like the quick changing of the height feature.
A good monopod but with issues on its twist lock

I purchased this monopod based on its feature and the good reviews on this site about two years ago. Specifically I liked its height and the flip level lock for the top section, which makes minor adjustment quickly. However after a few months of use, two issues shown up. 1) two out of four sections become so difficult to push them back. Luckily after applying very thin vacuum grease on the white seals at the twist lock area, the problem got solved. 2) The flip level lock would not hold firmly, especially when used with my 600mmf4 lens. Several reviewers had pointed out that this flip level lock could either not be able to firmly lock the leg in place, or it is difficult to flip (presumably due to overtightened the screw to overcome the locking issue). So, initially I was able to tighten the screw so it can hold the position for a while. But as time went, I needed to tighten the screw several times in a day. And finally, I no longer could tighten the screw enough to firmly lock the position. At that point, I had to dissemble the parts, and found that the threads of the screw were stripped. I contact Benro for a screw replacement, but was asked to purchase the whole kit, which costs $25, shipping and tax not included. I refused to purchase it. Because I think there are some design issue with this flip level lock, likely related to material and locking mechanism used. So buyer be aware. For me, I would just go to hardware store to see if I can find a suitable replacement, then buy several of them as a backup until the whole system broke down then I'll purchase a new monopod, likely not this one any more.

I am planning on using a GT2 Tomahawk Gimbel with this Monopod. Which panning plate would work well with both of these? I do no want to get a separate ball head for the mono.
You do not need a panning plate to use the ProMediaGear GT2 Tomahawk Gimbal Attachment for Ball Heads on the Benro MSD46C SupaDupa Carbon Fiber Monopod (72"). One can simply spin the monopod to pan the camera.

How does the monopod rotate on the bottom?
How does the monopod rotate on the bottom?
When the legs of the monopod are locked, they are not designed to rotate. If you need to rotate your camera, you would rotate/pivot the monopod in your hand or rotate your body.

Has anyone used this monopod with a Canon 1dxmk2 and a canon ef400 2.8 lens?
The capacity is 40 lb if rounded up from 39.7 LB as stated on the Benro website. Websites such as Amazon and even B&H show this as 40 kg which works out to 88 lb. However 39.7 lb is a ton more than anyone would ever want to mount on a monopod

What is the purpose of the black plastic clip that snaps onto the upper section of the Supadupa monopod? It is not mentioned in the manual.
That is the wrench used to tighten the fliplock nut/bolt. :)
