Review Summary

All I can say is wow. It's sturdy, I like the locking legs. Probably this best monopod I have owned. I was skeptical of the price, but when I used it for my sports photography and birds in flight It was a lifesaver. I used it with a small gimbal and it worked great.. I did take the feet support off. I found I didn't need it. And it did come with a rubber foot. Very secure and I wasn't concerned with support. Can't recommend this enough. I do wish It came with a case though.

Worked as expected. Great locking mechanism. Able to accept both usual thread sizes. Heavier than expected but fine with sturdier feel. Will be using on a trip to Africa this summer.

Heaviest monopod i have ever owned but with the weight comes phenomenal stability and functionality. It handles the weight of camera and big telephoto. So glad i went with a pro level monopod.

This Manfrotto monopod is built like a tank, just like its tripod counterpart. Some photographers might feel its too heavy but if you are shooting sports with big heavy lenses, you want stability and safety for your equipment. This is your monopod.

Taller than I expected when it's collapsed. But overall solid which my previous monopod with feet wasn't.

This is a great run-and-gun tripod. I love quick release plate that works with a lot of other heads I use with other mounts.

This Manfrotto tripod really comes in handy when I'm shooting early in the morning in low light levels and permits me to make stabler wildlife videos.

Honestly, when I mount my canon 1DX Mark II with a 400 mm 2.8 lens, I’m uncomfortable that this monopod can support it. I like the ease of extension. For a smaller setup, I think it’s perfect. But I shoot with “big guns”!!!! Joe

Probably the best monopod out there. It’s light weight and the rubber grip is great. It can actually hold my sony6500 with 85mm 1.8. Without any problems.

Still adapting to using a monopod, but everything is working well and appears well built.

I have not used it yet, other then in the backyard due to the weather, and either snow or mud all around. I will say it is easy to use with the 500mm telephoto lens attached. Once I attach the camera to it, it is fairly easy to handle and use.

Needed a heavy duty mono for my Sigma 150-600 Sport Lens and Nikon D3s and this definitely holds them both with no problem. Love this purchase. Great customer service as always

Nice addition to equipment. Light Wright, move fast without having to collapse. Holds my video Camera. Use it in the snow too.

I needed this to support a rather heavy unstabilized telephoto setup. I'm using it with an Induro ball-head at the moment. The only issue I have with it is that the hand-strap tends to work itself out of the buckle-mechanism really easily.

Best mono pod in the market
By FREDRICK T.
Probably the best monopod out there. It’s light weight and the rubber grip is great. It can actually hold my sony6500 with 85mm 1.8. Without any problems.
The XPRO Monopod Aluminum 4-section with Fluid Video Head is a professional full fluid video monopod made to satisfy videographers who leverage the height of their monopod to get above crowds and to achieve a wide range of shooting angles. These state-of-the-art Manfrotto legs have inherited the perfect combination of rigidity and locking safety of professional tripod ranges, like the 190 collection and 055 collection. This monopod is equipped with Manfrotto's full fluid base (MVMXPROBASE) featuring the innovative FLUIDTECH system that makes Manfrotto XPRO Monopod+ the first of its kind on the market to feature 3D fluidity. The FLUIDTECH video base enables the ultimate shooting smoothness on pan, tilt and swivel for an expanded range of perspectives. The three retractable feet make it extremely portable when folded and allow the monopod to be easily carried everywhere. The new D-shaped aluminum tubes greatly improve anti-rotation resistance throughout the monopod, following the videographer's rapid rotation movements. Combined with the Quick Power Lock (QPL) which strongly locks the lever onto the monopod tube's flat side, this eliminates unwanted jerky movements. The newly designed leg warmer guarantees exceptional grip and full footage control with a special version of the successful Manfrotto 500 video head The MVMXPRO500 exploits the powerful counterbalance system for managing heavier equipment such as interchangeable lens cameras, with a wider platform to support HDSLR bodies.
It is extra-lightweight and compact, so you won't even notice it's in your kit bag, but you can always rely on it to carry up to an impressive 8kg, blending strength with portability. The combination of fluidity provided by both the 500 head and the FLUIDTECH base make this the perfect kit for demanding videographers who need clever, fast-to-set-up and easy to use support for their professional video footage. The camera quickly slots in from above thanks to the accessible side lock system (rather than a lock on the back) and it's so secure there is no need for a secondary lock. The MVMXPRO500 has one Easy Link 3/8" connector to fit an external monitor or other accessories and it comes with the Manfrotto 500PLONG video camera plate. The MVMXPRO500 replaces the Manfrotto MVM500A.
