Manfrotto 679B Three section Monopod featuring sure rubber grip, wrist carrying strap, quick action lever leg lock system with 45° run, large 60 mm camera/head platform with plastic cover and dual 1/4” - 3/8” camera fixing screw. This replaces the Bogen Manfrotto 679.
After reading several reviews before purchase, the product performs as expected. Compact size for transport. Light weight. Have used primarily for shooting sporting events and have seen a marked improvement in shooting action shots over a hand held camera. Does the job for a very reasonable price.

5.0 out of 5 stars - Outstanding!, August 6, 2005 By Lodge2
A little heavy for what it is desinged for, but that's because it is built like a tank. Compared to other similar items, it may be 2x the price but it is 10x the quality.
I bought this for several small cameras that I take out for family outings. It is probably overkill for my small digital camera, but it keeps the camera still which helps prevent blurry pictures.
It retracts to a relatively compact size and has a padded grip area with a wrist strap. This is definitely a quality piece of equiment and Bogen seems to have one of the best reputations of camera support manufacturers.
It is a well made monopod and well priced, lightweight design and easy to extend and mount a camera, I like the fact that it has two sizes of threads and it is easy enough for me to use the smaller threads by just pushing down on the camera lightly to thread in the smaller threaded stud into the camera, it also has a plastic tool that just clamps onto the monopod to tighten or loosen the tension on the extension locks.
