Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Manfrotto 790B Modo Photo-Video Monopod
Customer Review: Much better than I expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this based on reviews, size closed and weight. I'm very happy I ordered this. As a matter of fact I'm ordering a second one a soon as I finish this review. One for traveling and one for carrying in the jeep so I'll have it when I need it. It's sturdy enough for a Nikon D40 or D90 with an 18-200 zoom lens and gives you just the right amount of support for the job. Especially when coupled with the VR lens. It's just great. Now like others mentioned ... the strap is crap. The webbing used is too stiff for the buckle to secure. Trash it and pick up a lashing strap at your local REI or backpacking shop. Trim to length (a little longer in my case) and you can use it as a wrist strap ... and the Monopod can be used as a light duty walking stick inbetween shots. It comes in handy for pushing brush out of the way to get that just right spot for the just perfect shot. If you need a monopod ... or just want one. This is the one. So small and light weight you don't mind carrying it along. I even pop it in my messenger bag to use when I need a steady shot with my point and shoot in the factory overseas.
Besides it's a Manfrotto and well represents the quality level you'd expect.
Update ... see photos ... I picked up the rubber walking tips for Leki treking poles (REI $9/pair) and they fit snuggly on the tip of the monopod. This gives you a more durable tip to use this monopod as a light weight walking staff. WORKS GREAT. I put some silicon sealent in the top of the tip after my first use. This keeps the dirt out. I also keep the lower section with the tip fully retracted. That's the weakest section and works out perfectly height wise for a walking staff. I'm just under 6 foot.

Are you tired of taking blurry pictures but find carrying a tripod around too heavy or bulky? Then get a Modo Monopod. It has the convenience of a tripod but is a light 0.6 pounds. Just attach your camera and you're ready to take clear, focused pictures.Accessories
