Your cart is empty.The new 4-section XPRO Monopod is a professional carbon fibre monopod made to satisfy photographers who leverage the height of their monopod to get above crowds and to achieve a wide range of shooting angles. When paired with the 234RC photo monopod head and a camera, the shooting experience is enhanced and framing speed and versatility increase dramatically. It is the perfect combination of performance and portability: easy to carry while quickly moving from one shooting spot to another, with the tremendous stiffness and solidity of carbon fibre legs. This monopod is compatible with Manfrotto’s full fluid base (MVMXPROBASE) and allows you to transform your photo monopod into a professional full fluid video monopod. The innovative FLUIDTECH solution allows for a 3D fluid movement - on pan, tilt and swivel, with a pioneering technology based on a spherical system located inside the base which deliver ultimate smoothness through an expanded range of perspectives. The three retractable feet make it extremely portable when folded and allow the monopod to be easily carried everywhere. Its 100% carbon fibre legs ensure the monopod’s supreme rigidity and high absorption of micro movements for excellent image quality. Combined with the Quick Power Lock (QPL), which strongly locks the lever thanks to an easy ergonomic mechanism, it eliminates unwanted jerky movements. Thanks to the newly designed leg warmer which provides exceptional grip and the dual 1/4'' - 3/8'' photo camera fixing screw, this new generation of monopods is handier, faster and more versatile out in the field. The MPMXPROC4 replaces the Manfrotto 694CX.

Hiking, and using a small monocular/IPhone set-up for medium range photos outdoors. Plan on using it for a shooting stick when varmit hunting picks up…

I purchased the Manfrotto XPRO Carbon Fiber 4-Section Monopod because my son decided to play football. Because of his decision, I was “volunteered” to photograph the games just because I own nice photography equipment. As if daily practices and being dragged all over the country every weekend weren’t bad enough, I now have a side job to do. I’ll do my best to give this monopod a worthy review despite being a beaten down father of twenty-four years, with no end in sight.To start off, this thing is beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality! The levers to release/lock the different sections are extremely sturdy, and easy to use. The “lock” of the sections is strong enough to support my weight when standing up from a crouched position, let alone the weight of a large lens, and heavy camera with a battery grip. I can see where this monopod would make a great walking stick on long treks over mountainous terrain for nature shoots. If my knees and weekends weren’t shot, I’d love to test this serendipitous feature.For this particular model, the collapsed length is about 21 1/2 inches, and fully extended reaches a height of 65 1/2 inches or 5 foot 5 1/2 inches. At this height, the eyepiece of the mounted camera would be just about eye-level for a six-foot person. The foot of the monopod is a solid piece of rubber with 1/4 threads. The foot itself is just bigger than the size of a U.S. quarter. At the top is a fixed mount with 3/8 and 1/4 threads. At first glance, I thought there was no way to mount my 70-200 lens until I noticed the 3/8 threads are spring-loaded. Simply push your 1/4 mount onto the threads and it will screw on. The monopod also comes with a hand strap and a little plastic wrench-like clip to tighten the levers. Since this is a monopod, it stands on its own about as well as a unicycle.The top section features a soft rubber grip which fits nicely in my hand. Clearly, the clever design is intended to double as a shillelagh. With a minimum reach of twenty-one inches, I can confidently hold said shillelagh in self-defense of hooligans and ruffians. To say it is intimidating is an understatement, as I have yet to find anyone accept my challenge to a duel. Thus, I cannot speak to the efficacy of shillelagh performance, but I will provide updates accordingly.Since this is a photography related item, one would expect some decent photos highlighting the product. Because I am a very giving, overwhelmed, frequently taken advantage of, shell of my former self as the result of being a father, I have provided a few images for your subjection.See you at the next game!

I've been using the same Manfrotto tripod for 35 years which is why I went with their monopod. So far, the construction seems robust and it offers good height adjustment

I have Manfrotto tripod, but needed monopod for event I was going to. After researching different options I decided to go with brand I know. This was a right choice, Manfrotto as always provided with great quality. Monopod is light and feels very sturdy. I used it for Canon EOS RP with EF 70-200 and monopod handled it very well.

I am quite satisfied with this monopod. Very sturdy. Locks are quite secure. Height is excellent. I am a bit concerned with the warranty. I purchased this in Canada form Amazon.ca; however, the warranty is in the USA. According to the Manfrotto Canadian distributor getting warranty through them will not be possible.

Great monopod. Should offer all the height you need for anyone 6' or under. Love those Manfrotto flip locks, just be mindful of those little "winglets"--It's easy to snag a finger when they snap open (ouch!).I topped mine off with a Smallrig arca clamp. Great, solid setup for full-frame DSLR + 70-200/2.8 telephoto. There's really no need for an extra tilt head or tripod foot. Incidentally, the screw-in foot uses 1/4"-20 threads, which I believe is not the standard for most other monopod brands.

Extraordinario. Gran calidad. En medio de una crisis en una sierra en el desierto, lo tuve que ocupar incluso como bastón cuando descendí unos riscos y soportó el maltrato. Lo volvería a comprar sin dudar.

la marca habla por si sola, es una excelente opción para los que practicamos fotografía de deportes, yo le monto la Canon 7DM2 con un 70-200 ( a veces el F4, que es para cuando ocupo el mono pie), y me ha funcionado bastante bien, te sugiero que lo juntes con un cabezal fluido para video, o algo que no sea tan rigido para foto.

Manfrotto Xpro Monopod Plus Aluminum 3 Section, Black (MPMXPROA3US)I am a very happy camper. Having severe peripheral neuropathy in both legs I needed a monopod that would also serve as cane/walking staff to help me get up and down and moving about. I was afraid 22lb (10kg) max load capacity of the Manfrotto MPMXPROA3US would be insufficient and the telescoping sections would collapse. That they did, but with the little plastic wrench provided the force on the section clamps can be adjusted. While increasing the clamp pressure makes them quite a bit more difficult to set and unset, the telescoping sections hold for me. I estimate I use at least 50lbs of force to get from a low sitting position to standing.Of course the trade off for getting a 3 section monopod instead of a 4 or 5 section is that the collapsed length is a little longer. So if you need a shorter collapsed length for travel stowage this is not the monopod for you.I wanted a three section monopod for two reasons:1) In general each section is usually sturdier than a 4 or 5 section monopod2) I don't like fooling around with a skinny 4th or 5th section. 3 sections are easier for me to deal with and adjust to the needed height.Each section on this monopod is quite beefy but coming in at 24.69oz (= 1.54lb = 3.3kg) the Manfrotto MPMXPROA3US is comparable to the expensive, carbon fiber, three section, 23.63oz Gitzo GM4532 –Possible drawback: The diameter of the handle is approximately 1-7/16 inch (3.65cm) and so may be unsuitable for folks with smaller hands.Flaws:1) The strap is stiff and worthless. The buckle weak and uncomfortable. Toss the strap and sew on a custom loop out a softer nylon or polyester strap material (without a buckle to dig into your hand). Manfrotto could take a lesson in strap design by checking out the Montem Ultra Strong Hiking / Walking / Trekking Poles –2) The D shape of the top tube section appears in the molded handle making it a little uncomfortable to hold. I find that a circular handle without and flat section is more comfortable unless it is a molded fingers grip type like on the Montem Ultra Strong Hiking / Walking / Trekking Poles or some hand-held camera grips --A matter pf preference: The handle material has next to no resilience. A softer handle would have made this much nicer to me. Other folks may prefer the secure feel of the Manfrotto solid molding.Despite some minor flaws which can be easily forgiven, this monopod is outstanding in the 10kg (22lb) equipment weight class.I highly recommend the Manfrotto MPMXPROA3US. Especially at the current bargain price of $66.38.
