I chose this tripod from the Giottos range because, whilst it isn't the lightest, it is sturdy and is tall enough for a six foot odd person. Tripods with four section legs may be more compact but they are not as sturdy, an important consideration if you have a heavy camera.
The Giottos is by far the most versatile tripod I have owned. I can't imagine any situation where this tripod would not work. Giottos have thought of everything including a tool kit to tighten up the joints should they ever work loose.
By G. Wylie (Scottish Highlands)
A lot of thought has clearly gone into the design and production of this Tripod. The end result is a first class, mobile support for a weighty DSLR and whatever lense you want to attach. It not only looks the business, it feels it. It is so nice to handle. This beautifully engineered piece of equipment provides the photographer with a flexible, lightweight, yet stable platform to shoot from either in the field or indoors. It will easily adapt for landscapes, portraiture or macro pursuits. It will faithfully meet your every wish. If you have gone to the bother of investing in good camera equipment to capture the unmissable moment, you do not want to skimp on a reliable anchor. And this is a very reliable, and easily portable, one such anchor.
Truly this is a Tripod for All Seasons!
It ships without a tripod head, which you still need to buy, but this lets you consider the most appropriate head to suit your purposes for this great piece of gear.
By V. E. Grant
Choosing a tripod is all about compromise, particularly between weight and rigitity. This tripod will support a semi pro or pro spec DSLR plus telephoto lens in most outdoor conditions. It is precision engineered and provides all the adjustments needed by even the most avid of macro photographers. The carbon fibre legs reduce the weight substantially without compromising rigity. What is amazing is the price, if it cost twice as much it would still represent a bargain.

Giottos GTMML 3270B - 4 Section 170cm Pro Monopod
Buy Low Price From Here Now
Use of a monopod is highly recommended for photographers seeking value for money and versatility. Monopods are specially designed for photographers on the move, for all styles of photography such as fashion or sports. With a monopod you can support heavy still and video cameras, make instant changes to angle and position in restricted spaces and capture that perfect moment first time. For use in mud or snow, the specially designed rubber foot accessory gives full support by spreading the load. Made primarily from aluminum alloy, the all-metal construction gives a feeling of solidity and confidence. Its surfaces are carefully polished twice, so its sections lock firmly and can be released quickly. Finally, the monopod is anodized to preserve the sheen of the original aluminum, or a pure black finish. It reflects the photographer's individuality; it catches the eye, and reflects its own special style

I shopped around for ages before deciding on this monopod and I'm glad I did. Extended it's easily tall enough for any normal task, and nicely compact when it's being carried strapped to a rucksack. It's light, but man is it solid and reassuring in use. The levers lock securely, and it's the right price. I've had Manfrotto stuff before, but this was by far the better option in every way. I know I'm picky, but I'd recommend this Monopod 101%.
By harleycy (uk)
I bought this monopod recently and have fallen in love,it is strongly made although light,carries my heavy Nikon D700 with ease and has pretty much made my tripod redundant.finish is good an very easy to open and shut,thanks to the quick release levers,it stands very high when fully open too high for me and Im 5.11 inches,overall I would recommend this monopod fully
By Larry in Sussex (United Kingdom)
This is a really solid quality item and has
completely resolved my problem of camcorder shake.
Slightly heavier than I imagined but it almost works
as a gimbal when held in a delicate way near the top!
Almost zero flex at 170cm full extention.
A ball head attachment allowing swivelling
of camera may be useful for some.
Highly recommended!

Giottos GTMML 3270B - 4 Section 170cm Pro Monopod
I purchased this Monopod as my tripod was too heavy to carry around on holidays. I am glad I did as so quick and easy to use although I wish it would have collapsed smaller to completely fit in my camera bag. But appart from that I can highly recommend this item. Amazon gives excellent and speedy service.
By Mr. D. Marsh (UK)
Lightweight, sturdy, and excellent build quality.
I've tried this out with a very heavy 100-400mm Canon lens, and it is works great.

I bought this tripod after my old camlink legs finally gave out, and I have to say that it's the best decision I ever made! Being quite tall, I've consistently had problems with finding tripods that will extend to my eye-height, but I was pleased to see that the 055XDB legs came up to my eyes even without the head on! Although the twisty-releases on the legs and shaft are a little odd at first, they're very easy to get used to. For those of you worried by the looseness of the legs and shaft when they're being adjusted, I've had this tripod set up in a force 10 storm and was able to get a 1min exposure with absolutely no shake whatsoever!
I think that I'm most impressed by the price of these legs here on Amazon - after searching the web for a couple of days, this is still the cheapest price that I've come across. For a superb set of legs from an exquisite manufacturer, this has got to be one of the best deals around.

I bought this for product photography and I am pleased I did.
The leg angle adjustment is independent and there are 3 fixed adjustment angles and you can extend the legs individually, the pillar mount is also adjustable when fully extended. For me this is really useful as it lets me get right on top of small products for macro shots, I also purchased a Giottos quick release head with two way adjustment so thats all bases covered.
It is well built and has a quality feel to it, for the price I got more than I was expecting.
By Andrew Brown (England, UK)
After much thought and reading reviews, I purchased a Giottos 9351B Tripod. It is very well made with multi-angle extendable legs which allow a wide choice of heights and can easily handle uneven terrain. I like that the centre column can be angled through 180 degrees which is very useful for macro type photography.
The tripod is quite heavy at around 4 pounds or 1.8 Kg but for the price it represents very good value at less than half the price of carbon. I would absolutely recommend this tripod, it seems obvious but do remember to order a Head also (I chose the Giottos MH5001 which is good value for money).
By Mr. B. Foote (Spain)
I have for some time been looking for a good solid tripod for my digital SLR camera and lenses. I have considered many, some more expensive than this one. I have a friend with a much more expensive Manfrotto, but there is no doubt about it, this is the better tripod.
Solidly built. Secure and with a host of features normally found on higher end models. The swivel centre column works superbly and is great for close up work. The legs are capable of of being spread wide, to help on uneven land and to get your camera low down. It even comes with a little tool kit and a replacement head for the centre column to assist in very low angle shots.
For the money, I doubt this can be beaten.
By Natterbat (Hampshire UK)
This is a very good tripod, well built, takes any 3/8 screw thread head.
The two way column is a must for macro and awkward places.
I wish I had found it earlier!
By Andrew Johns (Taunton,UK)
Fantastic, professional feeling and looking product that does everything that is asked of it. I had a slight issue with the centre column but Giottos replaced the entire tripod with a revised version which has fixed the problem.
Slightly heavy but then you are not paying for carbon so you can't expect everything. Looks significantly better than the Manfrotto equivalent.

Good solid monopod, i bought this version because i am 6ft 6" tall and this monopod is plenty long enough, it could do with a rubber pad on the top to prevent marking your camera if used without a ball head but most people will put a ball head on it, quality is worth paying an extra quid or two for!
By Macro Jay
Just the job for me. Excellent value,extra height, strongly built,Giottos GTMML 3290B - 5 Section 190cm Pro Monopod highly recommend this!
By J. R. G. Dibble (LONDON)
The Monopod is of solid construction and small enough to carry without getting in the way when walking with a camera shoulder bag and a rucksack on my back.
The rubber grip makes it comfortable to carry by hand and it does not get too cold on winter days.
I fitted it with a Manfrotto Head and the whole thing feels very robust and will take a camera and a very long focus lens without feeling unstable.
A tripod can get heavy when walking long distances so a Monopod or beanbags are the obvious answer and the Monopod gives height adjustment.
All in all a great purchase.

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.
