Manfrotto 560B-1 Aluminum Fluid Video Monopod RC2 Quick Release

This is going to be a pretty short and sweet review; however, I wanted to get my thoughts out there for those of you interested in run & gun video stabilization setups. When we went to CES earlier this month, we took the Manfrotto 561B and 560B video monopods with us for capturing video from the...

This is the lightest weight monopod with foldable legs I could find. It is an excellent product if your camera is light enough (under one pound). Indoors, it can stand on its own, but this is not recommended by the manufacturer.

Wasn't sure if I'd like a monopod, but now I don't shoot without it. It's very sturdy and pans smooth.

I needed a monopod to shoot weddings with and this is the jack of all trades. With the extra stabilization and the bottom of this monopod it allows you to nearly use this as a glidecam with some of the motions you make.

It is easy to use and gives great stability using 300 mm lens. I also like the fold up feet and the fluid pan base.

I use this monopod all the time with my DSLR.

Being handicapped and using a mobility scooter, I need to travel light. The monopod with my SLR makes photography for me so much easier. It can be compact and packed easily without adding hardly any additional weight. Strong sturdy latches, smooth pan head. I can shoot easily and quickly.

Monopod is excellent for the price. The fluid feature is awesome for panning. If video photography is your thing this is a must have. Worth the price!

I bought this to use with my newly purchased Tamron 150-600mm. It is really great! I love how lightweight it is, the smoothness of the motion for both panning and just readjusting your angle. It is very easy to move around while using this unlike a tripod (which I always end up leaving at home).

I don't shoot video (much), but I bought this to use with my 70-200mm for shooting stills. Very happy with it, and glad I didn't buy a cheaper version.

The mono pod is better quality than I expected. I use the pod for stills as well as video. Its small and light weight, it works as well as a travel pod. I been on several tours of national parks My tripod was too cumbersome getting on and off the tour bus.
