I have been struggling with which monopod to buy for about a week. I have compared all models on Amazon and still couldn't decide. Then I saw your review on Amazon on the Benro v. Manfrotto. That review referred me to You Tube. Based on both reviews I bit the bullet today and ordered the Benro. Thank you so much, for your advice.

Wrong answer. I had Siuri and it's great but cost 820pln ONLY monopod. I buy Benro for 750pln with realy nice fluid head! Monopod seams work the same for me, it stands no problem. Work very similar to Siuri and it's lighter. So I sold Siuri and dnow have great monopod with nice head witch I used on slider too. Also buty tripod with the same head (S4) and this team work perfect on weedings.

I've been looking for a monopod like this and this video helped me make my decision as I've been flipping back and forth between the Benro and Manfrotto. I have plenty of Manfrotto products but ever since I picked up a Induro gimbal head and tripod (Induro being the same company as Benro) I'm going with this Benro fluid monopod! Thanks for the video and keep up the great work!

@cipisound 7 жыл бұрын

I am agree with you Max. Is better than manfrotto. But I have just a litlle problem: is not fair to compare a manfrotto with a "handicap" and a Benro plastic quick release, and also a new iMac with an old Mac Pro with "handicap" ....because a product with "handicap" is always weaker. Handicap is for me something like a car with just 2 doors, it can,t be like a car with 4 doors, especially when you have kids! :) I dont want to be mad, but my philosophy is like this : cheap things are cheap, expensive ones, well here are 2 options: they could be good or they could be a fake (cheap product somethimes are sell at high price) ....BUT a cheap is always cheap... thanks for video

great comparison! The only reason I'd consider the Manfrotto over the Benro is switching between tripod and monopod easily as I already have a tripod with that head on it. I'm wondering if the base plate of the Benro is interchangeable with the Manfrotto ones, is it?

It isn't between these two but it's interchangeable between the 501 Manfrotto! If that's the one you have this may be a great buy!

Definitely helpful - saw your review on Amazon. How did it hold up on your wedding shoot? Would love to see some sample clips. Also, what does the Benro bag look like? Anything special about it or just a bag? Thanks Max!

@MaksimYuryev 10 жыл бұрын

I totally forgot to mention the bag, as you know the Benro comes with one but the Manfrotto does not. The benro did fantastic on the wedding, a lot of other things didnt go well ( out of my control ). I have a couple videos to edit before the wedding, but It will be up on my website MaxYuryev.com and will most likely post here. The Bag is a simple one, black with a silver stripe around edges and a Benro badge. It has a shoulder strap and padded inside. The bag is very good quality compared to most other bags I've gotten with camera gear. I'm not sure how good the Manfrotto bags are but I'm guessing similar quality but you have to pay an extra $60-100 for them...

Well I do share your issue(s) with on-camera performance. I have a "face for radio" myself and just cut a video for a Kickstarter project. In any regard when I do such things I print out a/the script in big "point" font and then use spray glue to secure it to cardboard (called a "tilt board") which I then hang under the lens. I do have a TelePrompter but It's not always worth the trouble to hook it up then have to dig up someone to run it. Best wishes for your future production(s). The Elf Drums 2013 (optimized)

Max Yuryev My goal Max was whether the engineering of the monopods would let me use one for general assignment work with a new (and small) 2-camera EFP package I'm rolling out. Obviously the implication of a fluid head on the things imply that it will operate for such application. From your review (though you don't really demonstrate it) I would gather that these are just more of the same and really are unsuitable being just barely self-standing let alone for extensive video production.

@MaksimYuryev 10 жыл бұрын

Riki B. Eyestarone The Monopods will stand by themselves if they are not bumped or shaken ( if you don't exceed the weight limit ) but if you need something that you can let go and not watch or worry about then you need a tripod. These are great if you need to be stable but easily mobile at the same time.

@thezespoldymband9707 10 жыл бұрын

Max Yuryev Actually with my experience I felt Lester had a really different attitude that was lost when his daughter inherited Bogen et al. Now I think that the stuff is over priced, heavy and "clunky" compared to many of the products offered by others. I have a number of the Benro products which seem a bit "sharper" but not as solid if mistreated.

Great video, thanks! So, I'm a graphic designer and just starting out with some photography and videography, and content for Vimeo and my wife's YT channel. To stay within a reasonable budget, and after a ton of research, I'm looking at picking up a Panasonic GH3 with an Oly 75 and a Pana-Leica 25. I think it will be a nice compact solution and provide some good results. The last piece is the stabilization, and I've been looking for a good tripod solution. When I found the Benro S8 kit I was blown away by the sample footage and the price. I was thinking I might get a monopod down the line, and probably another Benro, but that I should have something a little more substantial to start out that will last for a good while. Would you recommend a monopod over a tripod? I will be shooting some slow pans, some close-ups, and documentary-style portraits and interviews. Thanks in advance.

@MaksimYuryev 9 жыл бұрын

Jermaine Walker A monopod is great if you need to be mobile and change positions fast (like at live events or documentary work) but if your doing something scripted that you have control over, tripod all the way.

Now that you have used the Benro for over a year, how is the quality? Any unfortunate incident? Thanks.

(maybe the have change them?)

I would say they are not too useful. For stills a tripod would be more helpful if you want to take slow shutter speed shots. I guess it will be ok if you want to go down to maybe a second shutter speed and you need to move fast so a tripod would weigh you down... But I would try to get a lightweight tripod anyways.

I've done it a couple times when trying to move during a wedding. Are you trying to get smoother footage that way? Kind of using it as a glidecam? I do think it will help a bit but not sure if better than a tripod as a tripod does have 3 legs putting weight in different directions.

I went to the photo store today and put two Benros (two different models) next to a Manfrotto and compared a bunch of different features and the Manfrotto Monopod was by far the better one on almost everything. -- Manfrotto is made in Italy while the Benro in China, so right away you can see (feel) the difference in the way its manufactured. The Manfrotto extends much higher than the Benros and it felt much more sturdy. Another thing I noticed with the Benros is that even when you clamp the extensions, you can push down on the monopod and the thing colapses. I thought that this could be just a defect on the floor models but the store clerk told me that they tend to do that. That's lame! - I ended up getting the Manfrotto for U$ 249. The Benros were priced at $249 and $199.

@MaksimYuryev 9 жыл бұрын

Hi Max, I have a basic Benro tripod without a video head, are you still happy with your Benro monopod, I am interested in the S6 head but that might be overkill for my Sony A6000 - Do you still like your monopod? Love your reviews....

@MaksimYuryev 9 жыл бұрын

yes I do like the monopod. The S6 head is larger but has more adjustments

@MaksimYuryev 9 жыл бұрын

Paul Hill Thanks for watching. If your going to use heavier cameras in the future or a large FE mount lens (70-200) then Id say go for the S6.

Actually Max I wound up getting a Benro tripod with the S6 head. However I am wondering why your review also failed to address the sand, dust and water tightness of the piece(s). I don't want to but I can go into all the situations where this is an important factor in the use of a tripod and even more so in a monopod. You need to get a bunch more experience or talk to professionals BEFORE doing a review that is incomplete. It's not that I am a hater but hate someone that only does a very small part of a job and really appears to be doing a poor comercial as opposed to a REAL review. Good luck.

I'm sorry Riki but I this video is titled "Comparison" ..

@superbmediacontentcreator 10 жыл бұрын

Max Yuryev Well then, compare the seals in both for use in water, sand and other natural environments that one might shoot in among other features that a professional might find of interest or under conditions that one might use the products in. Hell if they are a wedding "guy" then having things spilled on the pods is quite valid.

@MaksimYuryev 10 жыл бұрын

Riki B. Eyestarone Do you really put your gear through water, sand, ect? I have shot 50 weddings (photography) and have never had anything spilled on myself or my gear, or submerged my gear into water, or had it go through sand. Any "water" that may have touched my gear is maybe light rain and that shouldn't have any issue with most gear if its decent quality. Also I am not a large company or a KZfaq person that does videos to try to make a living off of it and can buy stuff just to torture test it, I just make videos that I think might help someone. So far a lot of people seem happy with what I have put out but I can't please everyone like in your case I can't provide you with what you want out of me or others. I really hope there is a channel that will give you what you desire to receive! God Bless you!

@MaksimYuryev 10 жыл бұрын

Riki B. Eyestarone Also the reason why I made this video is because there are a TON of good videos on the manfrotto, a little bit of videos on the benro, but none (that I found) about the difference between them. So I wanted to help fill that gap and hopefully make someone's choice a little easier. =)

Hello Max mi name is seb and iam french Guy. I wanna start à new Job "wedding filmaker" and buy à monopod but which one. First i would buy manfrotto but the fluid head is a problem because its not pan.. If i wanna use it for a slider or with a tripod its a problem because we can't pan.. With the Benro i can remove the fluid head for use my tripod or slider?Do you think the benro is beefy with 5d mark 3 and 70-200? Think you very much.

@MaksimYuryev 10 жыл бұрын

Hi Seb! Sounds like you are doing similar to me! The head does remove and I think it will work well for that! If your going to put a lot of weight on it I would use the s6 head as it can handle the weight, it cost only a little bit more amzn.to/1kN6Yis

@MenoPreciado 9 жыл бұрын

Any thoughts on the different heads for the Benroe? a2, a4, a6, a8 ? They each support slightly more weight beginning with 4 pounds. Im thinking of getting the cheapest version a2, which should be able to support a 5d mark iii and 24-70mm lens with some additional room for pressure? also which head do you have?

@MaksimYuryev 9 жыл бұрын

I have the H4 but I would probably go with H6 and I have a much lighter setup then your 5d3 with 24-70, probably half the weight. The max weight is always overrated, you won't be getting smooth results with the h2. You should definitely go with H6 a can guarantee if you want smooth pans and tilts with that camera/lens combo you won't get good results. The H2 is made for small point and shoot cameras and other lightweight cameras like that. I have friends that shoot with 5d3 and pro zooms. For their 5d3+70-200 they use a H8 tripod. Also keep in mind that the better the head the smoother the pans tilts are and with more adjustability. (for the benro lineup)

Giraffe0530 If your goal is to be able to hold the camera more steady so you can slow down your shutter speed It would help yes, but I would recommend a cheaper one as you won't need the video head on this one. amzn.to/1cLFQnw Now if you want to set the camera down and leave suggest using a lightweight tripod instead, like this one: amzn.to/1JFgcQ0

It depends on which Manfrotto plate you have. The Benro S4 and S6 heads use the same plate as a Manfrotto 501.

Hi Phillipe, Its really up to you what message you want to take. I'm not sure if your from the US or not but here we have the second amendment which is right to bear arms. We are legally allowed to have firearms and protect ourselves and ones we love if we are in life threatening situations, and also from the government if it is not serving the people properly anymore. Mostly everyone is able to make a choice if they want to own a firearm, and if they don't that's fine! And also that is a airsoft shotgun that shoots plastic pellets (its a toy) that I purchased for a short film I made.
