Daniel:
How do you like your 680B monopod? I'm thinking to get the 682B, but I don't know how the retractable legs works, are they detached and has the the threads to attach to main unit or they stay with the unit all the time? |

I like 680b a lot now. Originally I did not buy the idea that it needs to bear heavy weight. But it turns out that it does while shooting. I saw 682B in action. Being so light wt., it is good , very good for light weight camcorder. But not for slr plus heavy lens Daniel, Toronto ![]() |

I purchased the Gittos MH 5580. I am tall so the 70 inches was importaant to me. My Gear is a 20D with a 70-200 2.8 and a 2x extender and a 580EX flash. I wanted something sturdy and it comes with a tilt head and quick release. I am very pleased with it's ease of use and the build quality is excellant.I felt like it was a bargainfor $84.It will definitely support anything I may have in the future.
Good luck with your shopping! Trique Daddi http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...goryNavigation |
