The Manfrotto 685B is an ideal monopod for sports photographers, or anyone needing to rapidly adjust monopod working height. Its 3-section design uses the instant Neotec leg opening system - just pull the leg down to instantly lock, and push the trigger to release. The rubber 'pedal' attached to the bottom section allows single handed operation of the monopod, and a secondary safety release operated by the little finger stops accidental squeezing of the trigger and collapse of a heavy load. Supplied with foam hand grip and a suction cup foot with retractable spike.
