Customer Reviews

Outstanding!
A little heavy for what it is desinged for, but that's because it is built like a tank. Compared to other similar items, it may be 2x the price but it is 10x the quality.

I bought this for several small cameras that I take out for family outings. It is probably overkill for my small digital camera, but it keeps the camera still which helps prevent blurry pictures.

It retracts to a relatively compact size and has a padded grip area with a wrist strap. The head attaches easily and the controls operate smoothly. This is definitely a quality piece of equiment and Bogen seems to have one of the best reputations of camera support manufacturers.

Great for those with the shakes, like me
I have Essential Tremor and have trouble holding a camera still. Even with the new image stabilizing technology, photos still show signs of camera movement at times. This monopod has taken my photos to a new level. I no longer worry about the camera moving. When collapsed, it can be carried on cruises, hikes, etc. Construction is much heavier (but not heavy to carry)than I expected and the tilt head makes photos of things on the ground possible, too. Well worth the price.

Bogen-Manfrotto 3232 Monopod
I had a lesser brand of mono pod. The ball bearings on the smaller sections were so hard to keep extended. When I wanted to wanted to capture them inside of the larger parts of the shaft, it pinched my fingers, the Bogen is a terrific solution to this and much more sturdy. It has snap/Flip locks to keep the monopod extended and make it easy to collapse. I take a lot of outdoor action sports shots, and it makes taking the actions shots so much more easier, especially with a long lens and shooting sessions that last for several hours. The price on Amazon was great also, it was easy to find the lower price and compare prices versus prices and shipping and handling fees. A great addition for any photographer that wants steady clear shots.
