Title: Great Monopod until it broke
Review: I received this monopod as a gift in 2008. It is very light and suits me well. I used it on 5 or 6 occasions. However, two of the plastic tightening clips have broken rendering the monopod useless. The parts broke when I simply tried to tighten the sections the way it is designed to be used. I did not even force the clips.I have used many tripods in the past and had this type of problem on two of the cheaper models. I had anticipated that the Manfrotto brand would be a higher quality than the tripods that had broken in the past. After thinking about this, I have concluded that the plastic is not sufficiently strong to tolerate normal day-to-day tightening and loosening.The Amazon listing does not state the warranty of the product. I will request repairs from Bogen and see if they cover the cost of the repair.
Is the review positive or negative?
