Thank you for this great video. I ended up going with the Manfrotto kit. Amazing system to couple with small sliders and dolly, exactly what I needed!

i just got the sirui 2 weeks ago, after i saw an old video from you. thanks!

good breakdown - i recently got the manfrotto one I have to say it is pretty good!

Nice breakdown Emm.

Thank you, trying to navigate this now

Good breakdown of these. Thanks

Nice explanation. Congrats

I've got a Manfrotto 605B1. Is it possible to upgrade just the foot or need to buy into the new system? Also, does it look like it is any better sealed at the ball joint? I shoot a lot outdoors in the dirt and it would often get dirty and create jumpy pans. Would have to occasionally open up the ball joint and clean it out.

awesome picture!

I had the original Manfrotto video monopod, and found it a bit too tall. I was looking for other news monopods in the store. I think I will get the xpro short monopod. goes pretty low and go up to eye level too. I am somewhat disappointed that there is no way to adjust the strength of the drag. I find the manfrotto one a bit too light. I did not know the Sirui has a drag control. But my main issue was to get low, so I will go with Manfrotto.

Great video! got the Sirui instead and you saved me $140 >.

Hey CheesyCam, will any of those monopods support the Ursa Mini? I'm looking for something with a small footprint for run and gun shooting

my manfrotto fluid tech foot is really loose. compared to my older manfrotto monopod. any ideas how to tighten it up? those 3 screws around the side dont seem to do jack squat.

Can you test the model of Libec The "Libec HFMP" Please

I have a Manfrotto MPMXPROA4US monopod and Manfrotto FLUIDTECH base. Amazon says the monopod was compatible to the base. But, I can't connect the two. Looks like the foot tip on the monopod doesn't have the same shape as the base and as your monopod in the video. Am I missing an adaptor? Is the monopod not really compatible and do I need to return it?

Is the Manfrotto more likely to Fall over because of the smaller feet? I would love to have the Manfrotto Monopod with the sirui feet

PLEASE HELP - How in the hell do you remove the base section from the monopod? Nothing seems to work!

Thank you! How long is it without fluidstand and head?

TU for this video. One question : is the head can be off, I mean removable for use it on a slider for example ? TU for answer me. Regards

How does the iFootage stuff compare-they’ve been getting rave reviews?

Is the MVMXPROBASE leg compatible with the Manfrotto 682B monopod? Thank you!

anyone know if the sirui foot base can be used on other monopods? Not a fan of the twist lock collar system and much prefer ifootage's telescopic system but their foot base is really small as well. was wondering if those two things could be paired together for a super sturdy run and gun style monopod

I know this videos pretty outdated but I'm looking for someones opinion as to which monopod and fluid head to go for based on my situation. So i'll be shooting weddings, possibly real estate, and side gigs. I'd like to have something I can travel with on vacation (eventually), and will perform well for commercial work. I'm only 5'6 so I guess more compact or shorter length may be more ideal. Watched both your monopod reviews and I know you stated the Manfrotto XPRO stands but does it hold up the camera like the Siriu? I've never had a tripod or monopod with that twist feature but I wouldn't think it's too bad. Anyways, based on your 2 reviews I was thinking Siriu for stand feature paired with a manfrotto fluid head(xpro, 500, or 502 can't decide). If anyone can suggest something it'd be much appreciated. Budget isn't too tight but obviously i'd like to save money if I could.

Hi. MrCheesyCam, I'm more into photography than videography. My question is can, Manfrotto MVMXPROA4 aluminium 4 section fluid video monopod, FLUIDTECH base with Manfrotto XPRO Ball Head with 200PL Quick-Release System MHXPRO-BHQ2 be use for still photography ?

My Xpro4 is wobbly when locked, really disappointed. I guess I got used to using my Manfrotto 561BHDV with the screws on the base tightened, the sticking point was firm. Anyone have recommendations for a firm sticking point?

Hey Mr Cheesycam! How are you? I was wondering, if the extra weight of the base and the fluid head worth the fluidity it brings? I mean, obviously you like the monopod when they are equiped with such tools, but for my experience i always feel that the base and the head were overated and so heavy that they prohibit some movements you might wanna do. I just love this tool, monopod is a thing that does everything (cranish, tripodish, steadcamish, low mode, top shot, sliderish). it's not the best at this, of course but it's so great to have a tool that does a little bit of everything. Any how, when the monopod weight 3.5Kg/7Lbs, it starts to be very difficult to fully use it, dont you think?

I just got the same Manfrotto MVMXPROC5US monopod. But I’m having trouble detach the the base from the mono pod. The menu just said unscrew the ring which I did. But there was not possible unscrew it and pull the base off since the base can’t be secured without turning. Help?

What's the difference between manfrotto mvm and mpm lines? TIA!

Will the Manfrotto take my tripod base or does it only take the one that comes with it ?

Hi i have a question do you recommend me use the benro video with manfrotto head 501 hd or photography head 804rc2

What is the length without the head and feet?

Please, please, please review the new Sirui EP-204S or EP-224S with flip lock, and compare it to the Manfrotto. And which one will you choose Sirui or Manfrotto?

Can you connect straight foot to head on Manfrotto MVMXPRO500US XPRO, and skip the leg part?

At first glance it looks like the build quality on the Sirui edges out this one or no?

fluid base is compatible with manfrotto 294 alu monopod???

is it come with a bag ?
