Manbily A-555L

What a great idea. This is well made and very sturdy. It makes an excellent monopod and an equally excellent walking aid. It has five extendable sections that you can extend to any part of and lock. The locking mechanism for each element is very, very strong and the rubberised twist-locks are grippy and can be tightened very easily. Use the arch between your thumb and index finger. It does not require a lot of grip to lock into place. The quality of the monopod is excellent. It is streets ahead of those cheap, aluminium pods and tripods that you see. There has been some serious engineering applied to its design. And it feels very strong and trustworthy. For me, it has become my regular cane that I use daily, even when not out taking photographs.

An excellent monopod, well designed, solid, durable, and functional. This is definitely one to consider if you need a monopod that won't let you down.

I needed a monopod for my camera to record videos. When zoomed in a long way whilst recording videos, the smallest shake of my hand can be seen massively on the video. I decided to buy this Manbily as it seemed better quality than others, plus it can be used as a walking stick. It is a very good monopod but not quite perfect, and could be improved. PROS:- 1. Good strong study frame when extended, no cheap plastics, feels like it can take alot of punishment before breaking. 2. Strong rubber handle with secure grip. 3. Wriststrap to ensure you won't let go of the monopod. Wriststrap can move around carrying platform to wherever you need it, and wriststrap can be removed completely if required. 4. Mounting thread can switch between 1/4 and 3/8 inch screw depending on your equipment. 5. Can easily change between a rubber foot or a metal spike depending on the ground. 6. Easily extend or retract length of monopod by turning quick locking knobs. 7. Small size of 40cm when folded and very light, can extend to a massive 155cm. CONS:- 1. Rubber protective cap on top mounting thread only fits onto the 3/8 inch screw, so if you are using the 1/4 inch screw, then you cannot use the rubber protective cap. They should have included two different sized protective caps for the two mounting thread sizes. 2. Quick Locking Knobs only have to be loosened a little to extend the monopod. If you loosen them too much by accident, the monopod starts to fall apart, as it is also the quick locking knobs that keep everything fixed together. 3. Biggest problem is the carrying platform that the camera rests on, is made from hard plastic. As you tighten the monopod onto your camera, the hard plastic carrying platform scratches the camera. They should have fixed rubber or foam onto the carrying platform to protect your camera. I had some adhesive black foam tape and stuck that to the carrying platform to stop my camera getting scratched.

First class product so good I purchased another

I inadvertently ordered the red colour but actually I think it looks better. Nice and light ,used it both as a walking stick and a hiking pole, easy to use with the new screw extensions poles lock into place . Increased stability. Compact and not forgetting the adaptor for cameras excellent mono pod. Lastly it is suitable for indoors and outdoors, inter changeable tips . Fully functional. Excellent.

Solid well made monopod. With the handle it can be used as a walking stick. The handle can be easily removed and a ball head fitted. Well worth the money.

Very happy with it, my first monopod, wished I had tried one sooner. Feels solid, not heavy.

Seems good on first look and it’s much lighter and easier to take travelling. That’s why I wanted it. Seems good quality. Adjusts quickly and firmly. Goes down short. Comes unscrewed.

This monopod is by far the best I've seen. The material (Aluminum) quality is good and the design, machining and fabrication is outstanding. A lot of these colapsable pods the leg locking feels chessy and not so secure and if just used for a monopod for camera shot, something with less quality would suffice, but I do have a slight mobility issue and use a cane and wlaking stick when I'm out and about. Which brings me back around to the fact that his has extension locking devices that feel very sturdy and secure; I've never felt unsafe or unsecure around on streets or out on the trail. The hand grip is wide and "grippy"; the hand strap can be removed or repositioned and is very well made. The dual 1/4"/3/8" camera studs are well made and your equipment feels secure and not going to snap off. The replacable/configurable top handle is very nice and well made. If you remove the lower rubber tip you have a stout steel tip for off pavement use. The length is well thoughtout and adaquate for users of any height. It works great for a cane but can quickly be extended into a stout and sturdy walking stick and will steady your favorite electronics or optics. I use this everyday and depend on it for balance and mobility and would not be without it. Everybody involved with the engineering and fabrication of this staff defintely hit a home run out of the park; if this one breaks or is damaged, I'd get another one without thought.

Bonito, ligero, resistente, muy versátil en alturas y fácil de ajustar. Vale no solo como monopié, sino como bastón de paseo -incluso trae un mango muy elegante- y, si me apuras, como cachiporra defensiva. Por el precio, difícil pedir más.

各種イベントがありますと、家族持ちのお父さんなんかはカメラ係に任命される機会も多いでしょうか？ビデオ撮影などは手持ちですと次第にプルプル震えてくるものです。撮影スペースも限られているため三脚を立てるわけにもいかずお悩みの方も多いことでしょう。 そこで頑丈な一脚が1つあればそのお悩みも解決です。しかもこの商品、アタッチメントで杖になる優れものです。お出かけの際にバッグに挿しとけば安心感があります。 そのままでもカメラは固定できますが、雲台を用意しておくと更に撮影が楽になると思います。

La raison principale de cet achat était un bon bâton de marche. Quelque chose qu'on peut se fier dessus. Quand je vue arriver la chose, j'ai trouvé ça un peu gros au début mais je l'ai aligné avec l'autre bâton de marche que j'avais bon un peu plus gros C'est un petit peu plus pesant mais cela m'aide à ma stabilité et la confiance de marché. Je suis finalement très heureux de cet achat. Pour la recommandation, je vous laisse évaluer selon vos besoins. C'est un choix personnel. Le produit de très bonne qualité. Je ne sais pas où on je vais trouver les embouts de silicone de remplacement.
