Manfrotto Neotec Monopod W/Safety Lock
Buy Low Price From Here Now
With the same Neotec opening and closing mechanism as the 458B tripod, the 685B monopod is designed for support without sacrifice. It couldn't be easier or faster to set up - just pull the monopod 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, 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.

Great for use out and about in crowds, in the street, shooting quickly and smoothly.
Panning isn't perfect but its portable so you can't have everything.
Quick to set up and can go places no tripod can go,

Excellent value for money, if you take pictures for a living you would want to spent more, but for the keen 'slightly better than just a snapshot' like me its OK. Its also very light weight which is good if, like me, you might need to carry it all day. Probably will not last forever...but then neither will I!
By Platowinner
This is a well made device which operates by using easily operated clips to adjuct "pod" length. The attachment for cameras/camcorders is strong and should last.
By Mr. T. G. Sykes (West Yorkshire, UK)
I have a Hama tripod with the detachable camera attachment and so it made sense to buy this monopod.The quality is very good for the price.
For those who say that the handle gets in the way, I'm not being clever but the fitting allows for 4 different angles of connection with the handle at either the front, rear and left or right.
I am 6ft tall and this monopod opens longer than I need when stood on level ground.
I am very happy with it and would recommend it for those on a budget.
By D. A. Richardson (Surrey, England)
Hama 78 mono, it is as good as it says it is, the handle is mounted on the left hand side of the head assembly which leaves your right hand for the camera control, it seems to extend forever so if you need to use it on the top of a bank or if you are stood on a wall this is the one.
For the price it would be hard to beat it, it's lightweight and easy to carry in the bag provided the only thing I would like is a quick fit foot rest as a Hama extra but the quick fit camera mount is good and with nomal use (not used as a walking stick) it will last just as well as some of the more highly priced items available.
By Mr. L. C. Steele
Cant go wrong at the price. £11 and it arived in 2 days. For the casual user this is a good buy. Dont think you would do better. Even comes with a carry bag.

Knob for tripod - works exactly as described, cheap and good value. Was out of stock but only a weak late.
By R. J. Such
I have a very useful monopod walking stick with a small removeable compass which unscrews in order to attach a camera or binoculars. The compass is helpful, but for my own purposes I find it of greater assistance to attach this knob which provides a useful support if I need to lean on it, which I sometimes do if, for example, I am using the stick when coming down a rough slope.

By Mrs. Kathryn Gower (Haworth, Yorkshire, UK)
We got this when my daughter needed to take photos of things she couldn't reach so we've used it with the camera on its timer with auto focus on, hoisted it up in the air and hold it as steady as possible ...... Hey presto, a photo close to something you can't get to easily! Simple to pull out and push back and doesn't really take any room up in a rucksack or bag. It also makes a difference when you just need the camera steadying for a conventional photo too - Simples!
By Danger Mouse (UK)
I bought this to use with my camcorder as I found my videos a bit shaky, since using it the quality of my photography/videoing has improved greatly. The monopod is 5 section aluminium that is 40cm closed and extends to 140cm, it has a foam handgrip and wrist strap. It will only pan if you swivel the monopod and tilt is by undoing a thumbscrew which is not easy to do whilst trying to take shots. My biggest fault with it is that it doesn't have a quick release plate for attaching the camera and I found it rather difficult attaching the camera as you have to open the head and use a screwdriver to attach the camera to the head.I am still satisfied with it though as it has been very useful,it arrived propmptly and was packaged in a retail box.

Thank you for the Hama 8 Monopod , since i 've started to use it ,the standard of my shots and clips have greatly increaced, this includes a wedding I attended and wanted good shots. A very handy stabiliser for distant shots and easy to carry around like an unberella. Thanks again , Joe B.
By Iain Ramsay (South Ayrshire UK)
Adequate performance for the the price paid. If you want really steady control go for a tripod

A bit heavy but invaluable quick support when a tripod is not able to be used.
By Kagy (UK)
This is a great piece of kit. Easier to carry than my Benbo tripod (obviously) with the assurance that those lower shutter speed shots will be OK. Well made and designed, in my view.
By u07ch (UK)
The Manfrotto 680B does not extend as high as i would like (i am almost 2m tall); but it does collapse into something small enough that i can put it in my suitcase.
Unlike my more sophisticated gas strut model (Manfrotto Neotec Monopod W/Safety Lock) whenever i go overseas it goes with me. Its size alone wouldn't warrant the dent in my weight allowance; the monopod is rigid when extended and the clips seem strong and able to stand up to knocks which makes it a great monopod.
By G. Crowley (Swansea UK)
Very pleased with the product. Very robust, yet easy and speedy to use. This is my first monopod, so I was a little apprehensive, but now extremely satisfied.
By DJ Fraser (North Yorkshire, UK)
Speedy service. Ordered pm standard delivery - arrived following pm. Product is excellent quality and just what I need for trip abroad (don't want to take bulkier tripod). Good news is my existing 486RC2 quick release ball head is a good fit with this too. Price was better than my usual photography supplier who were temporarily out of stock on this item - their loss. Recommend this supplier and will certainly look at them again in future.
