Great build quality December 23, 2007

I bought this retail, and threw a 486RC2 ball head on it. Phenomenal build quality. The bottom section is wide, and there is a very nice rubber foot on the end that is as large as I expected.
I already forked over $65 and got a crappy monopod from B&H called a "ShotPod". It is only good for a stand to attach a remote flash to, and not for what a monopod should be for.
It doesn't collapse as small as the 4-section, but let me tell you that seeing them together makes the decision easy. The 4-section is heavier (more hardware), and the last leg (bottom-most) is very small compared to the 3-section. That also means the rubber foot is smaller, which of course means quicker wear, less stability, etc.
Get the 3 instead of the 4. Period.

This monopod performs flawlessly. It is lightweight, sets up and adjusts easily and is the perfect accessory for supporting my Digital SLR when shooting in low light conditions where use of flash is not possible.

This product was advised to me from POTN.......photography on the net forums. Awesome group of people there. This monopod functions great, quick and easy. It is very sturdy and has really helped my percentage of keeper shots w/ 30D and shooting soccer. Very light and strong.....just wish it came with a case or bag....other than that, I recommend this versatile, lightweight mono!!

This monopod is something that I anticipate I will use for a lifetime. I bought it along with the 3229 quick release head, and the simplicity of the design is flawless, and the quality is exceptional.

it gives a reasonable steady image as one pans across the scene; the camera screws nicely into the double adaptor, set up to take two sizes of fitting; is heavier than the walking sticks versions of monopods; a classy piece of Manfrotto construction though
