[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 459107, member: 11881"] Added a couple of new monopods to the arsenal of stuff. Primarily to replace the cheap ones I had purchased years ago that served me very well. The first one is a Manfrotto 680B Photo Compact. The name is misleading, this is a beast of a monopod with a huge pipe diameter. It will be very useful for some of our big lenses. [url=http://www.manfrotto.com/compact-4-section-monopod]Compact 4-Section Monopod 680B - Compact | Manfrotto[/url] The second tripod is a Manfrotto 290 Series Carbon Fiber. Not as hefty as the above, but plenty solid.

However, after using cheap monopods and higher end monopods, I would never knock a cheaper monopod.
