Bogen-Manfrotto Three Section Black Monopod with 3232 Swivel Tilt Head. Review

I’ve used this monopod and head for about three years now – mostly for shooting kid sports. It’s built like a tank, easily supporting my 7D and large lenses (70-200mm f2.8 and 300mm f4.0, often with a 1.4x teleextender added and sometimes a flash unit).

Two dislikes:
1) I wish I’d bought a four-section monopod instead. Collapsed this one is still too long to attach easily to my camera backpack, and it’s awkward to pack for travel in a carry-on.
2) I’m not a fan of the swivel tilt head. It’s a little hard to attach and detach lenses. And when you tilt to portrait mode, the default position is just a little past 90 degrees. Not a big deal, but you do have to compensate for it (or be more careful to set it at exactly 90).

Overall it’s served me well and is an excellent value. However, I’m going to replace it with something more compact and get a more sophisticated head with quick release plates. Of course that will be more $$!

Bogen-Manfrotto Self-Standing Pro Silver Monopod. Review

I have an older version of this monopod (from about 2000) and I love it. It is easier to carry around than a tripod, and when you need the extra stability you can always unscrew the base and let out the “feet”. Just make sure you never let the monopod free stand or you may find yourself looking to purchase a new camera\lens. And for those of us who have found ourselves in some less than ideal environments with expensive camera equipment, the monopod makes an excellent “deterrent” or club. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 star rating is because the base can become difficult to screw\unscrew if it is used in an extremely sandy area, such as at the beach. I had to then take the garden hose and thouroughly rinse the base and feet of mine of for several minutes, dry them with a rag, then apply a light coating of grease to the threads. A minor inconvience.

Bogen-Manfrotto Professional Black Monopod with 3232 Swivel Tilt Head. Review

We do a lot of bird/wildlife photography in candid situations and rarely have time to set up a tripod shot and hand=held shots can get tricky with a telephoto lens, so we’ve started using the camera on this monopod with a remote switch taped just under the camera mount. This has improved our numbers of in-focus shots at 200 – 300 mm. Very pleased with it.
