The fastest tripod in the world! Awesomely fast and easy to use, the 458B has the innovative Neotec rapid opening and closing mechanism-just pull each leg downwards to open and automatically lock it in any position, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten or loosen. Then to fold it back up again, press the mechanism release button and push the leg closed. Combined with the 458B s high load capacity, great min-max height range and its full range of professional features, this makes it the ideal tripod for location work under pressure. The 458B has a built in carrying handle a two-section centre column for low angle or normal shooting and four set leg angle positions. Upside down leg construction also stops the worst of the mud you re standing in from ending up inside the tripod.

Manfrotto 595B Fig Rig
Buy Low Price From Here Now
A circular frame with a crossbar to mount most mini DV cameras, the Fig Rig becomes part of the body to produce smooth, steady traveling shots. It is this very fact which is the secret to the Fig Rig. As the operator walks, his/her muscles and tendons absorb all the shocks, transferring only fluid movements to the camera. As there are no straps or harnesses attached to the Fig Rig, quick and wide movements can be made within the same shot ? from ground-level to overhead, in one smooth movement. The camera, accessories and operator become one, allowing you to film scenes quickly and unobtrusively. With the Fig Rig your creativity is virtually limitless

I use this with my Xacti HD2000 and it works well. It's steadier than one-hand handheld and allows you to do whip-pans and such which are difficult to do with steadicam. The rig itself is great to mount a high quality mic several inches away from the cam. With an additional clamp you can also fix a tripod quick-release to the figrig so it's not needed to unmount all your gubbins from the rig. If you're fashion conscious and worried about looking cool whilst shooting and dream about the glamour of the movie biz then this rig is not for you. You will look a dork using this "steering wheel" but if you can get over yourself it's a useful tool.

Then to fold it back up again, pull the mechanism release trigger and push the leg closed. Its "upside down\ construction also stops the worst of the mud you're standing in from ending up inside the monopod."

I have this monopod with a 484R2 ball head attached. I owned a monopod before the 685B Neotec and found that I tended to leave it at home, the main reason is that if I am going to the trouble of unlocking, extending and relocking, attaching the camera, adjusting the height, etc, I may as well use a tripod (or hand hold if light permits). The reason to use a monopod, in my opinion, is for quick deployment and greater stability. All monopods give greater stability but most are not quick to deploy.
When deploying the 685B you snap the camera to the head (the 484RC2 has a quick release system), stand on the small foot plate at the bottom of the monopod and pull the top up to the height required. Adjusting the height is easy and takes seconds. With one hand, push the button lock with your small finger and grip the release system, adjust the height and un-grip the release system to lock. I am finding that I use this monopod all the time and for general shooting I tend to leave my tripod at home (or in the car).
The 685B is lightweight but sturdy, extends to 1.7m without head and has a spring loaded 3/8 and ¼ inch tripod bush (no loosing the converter here). There is a wheel on the hand grip to help you screw your tripod head to the monopod. There is a hand strap included and foam padding arounf the body of the monopod.
I am not convinced about the rubber foot on this monopod but it is functional; I think a spike would have been better.
Note: This monopod does not come with a head. I would recommend the 484RC2 ball head since it works well, is lightweight and has quick release facility.
All in all this monopod is an unbelievable piece of design and it's so quick to use that it's a pleasure to use.
By Eric H (Bolton Lancashire)
Super piece of kit, not as light as some of the other reviews on here would have you believe but worth carrying round just because it's so easy to use.
I thoroughly recommend it, solid as a rock and well built, a little bit expensive but you get your money's worth.
By Mr. S. Crook (North of the M25)
I got this because I didn't want to lug a full tripod around with me. It's well made, very solid, and there's obviously a lot of thought gone into the construction. It's expensive, but I think you get your moneys worth.
There's a price you have to pay for that solidity, it's big and, for a monopod, pretty heavy. I have to say that after a few weeks using it I really can't fault it for the job that it does. Combined with the Manfrotto mini ball head it makes a good platform for getting that bit extra stability for a lens, extending and collapsing it really is a one handed operation, with no fiddling around with clips or twist locks.
If you want a monopod to take with you on a photo shoot, it's fine. However, if you're looking for a monpod to take with you on a hike, I think it's both too big (the minimum size is 76cm) and too heavy to lug around for 10Km and, unless you have a backpack designed to hold a monopod/tripod you'll have one hand permanently occupied carrying it.
There are smaller, lighter (and cheaper) monopods around, but you'll sacrifice that slick extending mechanism, but at least they're suitable for a hike.
5 Stars because, judged on it's own terms it succeeds admirably.
By G. geraghty
i love this one of the best bit of kit i have bought sterdy and strong everyone should have one of these with its qucik release for movining up and down speed is important when you taking some pictures
By A. Bayliss (London, UK.)
This is the way monopods are supposed to be.
No messing about with latches or twist locks - simply grip and adjust the height - then release and it stays.
So simple - the best purchase I've made for some time in the accesorise department.

collapses and extends super quick, really light, just a shame that it doesn't come with a carry bag when vastly cheaper tripods do, and manfrotto have the gall to charge through the nose for one when you've already paid them out a fair whack of cash! Apart from that, fantastic! Make sure if lightness is really what you want that you get a light head as well.
By L. J. Burgess (France)
I have taken photographs for years and never had a decent tripod. I have bought equipment based on price but have always felt that I had not got what I really wanted and regretted paying too little. You won't feel that way with this tripod - it's like a Rolls Royce.
By Lars Peter Frederiksen (Denmark)
Its a greate tripod, very lightweight, and very flexible, can get the cam all the way to the ground and all the way to about 2 meters. And its easy to use
