Top Rated Gear: Manfrotto 334B Automatic Monopod - Black (#3245) Buy now & save $12. Head Type: Without Head, Load Capacity: 18 lbs, Material: Aluminum, Maximum Height: 65", Weight: 1 lbs

Bought this years ago; it's starting to wear out, but I've never found any other model which works as well.  Usefuli to support a large telephoto lens.  The hand grip allows quick adjustment up & down, so one doesn't have to undo a clamp.  Very light with good height, and works well as a walking stick.  Would buy it again,

Best monopod available

I own two of these.  One quit working and I bought another.  I have been extremely carefull to keep water out of the bottom.  I have sealed and taped it.  I have never owned any other monopod but I wish there were one out there which would work consistantly.  I am still using the second one I bought.  Either I am just not proficient at operating it or it works inconsistantly.  I am a nature photographer and use it to support my camera as I stand in the pond.

Manfrotto 334B Automatic Monopod - Black

This was the first monopole that I ever used (bought first one 20+ years ago. When I lost mine in Hurricane Sandy, I did not hesitate to buy it again.

Great Choice

Easy to use

I also bought a ball hinged plate (same Manufacturer) to put on top of the monopod, which gives my shots a lot of different interesting angles.  I like the fact that the monopod is automatic, because I have severe arthritis and it is very hard to put together too many things and takes more time for me, which might cost me a lost shot.
