in terms of this monopod home manfrotto nothing to say or rather say this: the base already has a diameter of 6cm practice well for ball joints or other heavy combinations or say this: the icing on the cake the central screw the eighth is 3/8 or 1/4 of the way is simple, for there to q'ua 3/8 screw for 1/4 simply screw the ball by touching it or other simple but it had the invent. if not for the rest it's solid. (on this I have a monopod jostick manfrotto a 70/300 d5100 with no fuzzy problems, fatigue) Brief me it's always as widely suffisant.et pous the seriousness thank you to amazon.
