Review on πŸ“· Benro MCT38AF Aluminium Monopod with 3 Leg Base, 4 Sections & Flip Lock by Maili Silcox

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Ideal for gimbal users!

I am very glad I took the risk and bought this monopod from my Ronin-S. I wanted to make great throws with him. The monopod is solid and very well made. The quick disconnect is SUPER! It needs to be lowered with a few quick twists and then you can free your device from the monopod. Also, I was able to quickly remove the Ronin-S from the monopod leg and quickly install it on the monopod legs. This is a great monopod for the price and better than the others. ***Update*** A few weeks ago I unlocked the center leg and dropped it. The monopod broke completely (see photo). I was upset and emailed Benro. They answered quickly and asked me what happened. After explaining this, they told me that it would be too much weight to drop the leg with the mini tripod legs attached. After thinking about it, it would be like using a dent remover on a car. Nevertheless, Benro sent me the defective part (free of charge) and I was able to reassemble it without any problems. I'm keeping this 5 stars because it's still amazing. Just be careful not to drop the legs with the attached tripod legs.

Pros
  • Quick Disconnect - Pull the locking sleeve to unscrew the video head and tripod base.
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
