Opinions from the Manfrotto 685B

Advantages:
comfortable design. expand to the desired height, you can in a second.
Disadvantages:
relatively high price.
Comment:
bought. as I saw - immediately fell in love. I had never seen such a design before. no troubles with loosening of joints or bending of "petals" on them. just pressed the lever and pulled out as much as necessary. the slide of the retractable tube is quite heavy - I don't even know if this is a drawback or an advantage. but quite bearable. on the leg there is a retractable "foot" on which you can stand with your foot and hold the monopod or hold it for extension. the height is sufficient. 173 is enough for my height with a margin. until I even had to use it - I will not get out with the camera on the street, but I think it will not disappoint. excellent device!

Advantages:
- Awesome folding mechanism - seconds to the ready - Holds a good weight - High enough with only 3 sections (a critical factor for me) - Manufacturing materials ("sweep a thing!", As they say)
Disadvantages:
- Support elastic foot on the hinge at the bottom can be easily removed (even easier than putting on) and can get lost - Long when folded (75 cm without a tripod head) - Quite heavy (I have a tripod that does not differ in weight) - Plastic construction the lock on the handle does not inspire confidence (looks flimsy) - According to a friend's opinion, and according to the instructions, it is sensitive to water (due to the same folding design) - Expensive due to the listed disadvantages. I guess the red price is around 4.5-5 thousand rubles
Comment:
admired and twisted it in his hands all evening. I took it as the main working tool - I think it will solve 70% of my tasks. Probably good for operational studio work. But I will use so to speak "in the field". In general, I am satisfied with the purchase.

Advantages:
The most basic advantage is folding with one leg and spreading with one arm and one leg.
Disadvantages:
Stand two thread diameters of the sweat of the head, while the change is worn out.
Comment:
For filming in cramped conditions, an irreplaceable monopod, you can adjust the height with one hand without looking up from the filming, + a folding foot that can be pressed if it stands on an uneven surface, + an elastic band if on a slippery surface + a thorn, if there is a strong wind, you can drive into the ground. (But this all the little pluses)
