I have now some Manfrotto tripods in use. The monopod is slightly heavier than its carbon-colleagues, but in everyday life but more robust and requires little attention. The clamp works well and is accustomed personally prefer it when the screw caps of some competitors. I have upgraded the base of the screw 680B / pedestal of Neotec-monopod. This increases the stability significantly by its rubber plate with integrated Spike. A slip of the foot is effectively prevented. (Please do not be fooled by the name, I'm not an employee of this company ...)
