Thanks for the review. Looks good for the price. I have the aluminum iFootage Cobra 2 which I love.

Thanks Christopher. Is the Cobra worth a look you reckon?

@no1slisteninganyway Жыл бұрын

@@RalphMayhewPhotography Absolutely! The monopod foot is very versatile. iFootage makes some good gear.

I have a typical carbon fiber hiking stick that I screw a polymer, friction fit, socket on top for the Manfrotto plate on my camera/lens.. Works like a charm for monopoding. Just slide the camera off it and go back to hiking.

brilliant. Love some good old ingenuity.

Have a older manfrotto monopod. Heavy eve with D200. That said, make things very stable. Have yet to use with Z5. Not sure I even will given slowness of Z5. Liked the unit tho. definitely great quality..

@RalphMayhewPhotography Жыл бұрын

Cheers Robbie. Yeah I’d only use it with the z5 if I had very long glass on it or was doing some video.

Have you got a monopod? What do you use it for? Any frustrations with it?

Man, I somehow decided I’d like a mono pod and oddly, KZfaq reviews have you popping up on several. You must be fond of monopods? You must be fond of monopodding (not sure if that’s a thing)? Maybe I’m mistaken and I certainly don’t mean to offend, I’ve looked at too many reviews by now. Anyways, a monopod used to be a single pole to offer support for your camera. Though obviously this is still the case, the idea has evolved into the three legged bottom. Several brands make them now and since I’ve never used a monopod with a three legged base, I don’t know if that’s the better way to go about it. I just wanna strap one to my backpack and take it to use for casual photography. My gear is rather lightweight as a whole, though being an older guy close to retirement, even a 20 litre backpack filled up gets heavy after a while. So I try to keep the weight down as best I can around my R7. I’m guessing the obvious answer is to get a basic carbon fiber and shop by weight as a priority. But I like nice stuff, and the three legged models I see as being beneficial. The iFootage model another poster cited, is on my radar as it has the foot pedal with I think a ball joint at the bottom. Hit the pedal and it releases for panning and angle adjusting. Is that better? IDK. This model you have reviewed appears solid. But any of the three legged units are heavier. I can justify this (but I have a serious weakness for camera gear) style of monopod, as these are generally lighter than tripods I suppose. So, is the Trent 2.0 the best bang for the buck here? Does Three Legged Thing make better stuff than iFootage? If anyone knows, please post an answer.

Haha nice comment man. Have a look at these three vids which might help you think it through some more: 1.

AFFORDABLE & TALL: The Manfrotto Monopod MPMXPROA4 XPro Review kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rsp7e8WH3b62ZWw.html The YC onion is highest tech and very clever and smooth. The 3LT is a great product, light and classy. The Manfrotto is basic and functional. Hope this helps.

I bought One. For my double Gimbal. As it total weight is 30 kilos. But with the foot is 20 kilos. Most monopods can't hold more than 10kg

Come on!! 👊

@TheAegisClaw Жыл бұрын

I've got one. Tbh it's crap, way too heavy and I don't use it because the legs keep unscrewing. Get a Manfrotto one, much better.

@RalphMayhewPhotography Жыл бұрын

That’s valuable insight. How long did you have it before it started to frustrate you?

@TheAegisClaw Жыл бұрын

@@RalphMayhewPhotography I've had it about a year now. The weight was immediately apparent, as I'm sure you will admit. Strapped to a bag with 3 or 4 lenses in it's just not acceptable to add so much weight. The unscrewing though, was not immediately apparent, until I needed to carry it extended to multiple locations with a hundred or so meters walk in between. That was last July, I've not used it since.
