Questions & Answers
Yes. I've used the Avella with a Nikon 90D and a Canon 7D Mark II. A Tamron 70-200mm lens was used. 200, as well as an 18-foot yacht. The Avella was used with a 400 and two heavy lenses. Both are held in place by the Avella. I have not, however, used a monopod on uneven terrain (i.e. hiking). The mono-tripod is one of my favorites and I almost always use it. When spring arrives, I'm excited to take it on hikes.
Yes, it is self-contained. The three legs have two stances in which they can stand, a flat and a mid-stance. the first level
At any given time, you should only use one screw.
There was no change that I could see. If you're looking for a fluid head, keep in mind that the handle that pivots and moves the fluid head does not lock in place. It freely rotates and moves, which could pose a problem for video.
Selected User Reviews For Avella CD324 Carbon Fiber Video Monopod Kit, with Fluid Head and Removable feet, 71 Inch Max Load 13.2 LB for Canon Nikon Sony Olympus Panasonic DSLR Camera
The iFootage Monopod is well-liked and well-reviewed, but at over $300 for a "specialty" item, it's difficult to justify. As a result, I began to look for a replacement. The Avella was well-received and resembled the iFootage in appearance; at under $100, it would be a good buy if it was even half as good. This thing isn't just good; it's fantastic. To be honest, I've never used the iFootage, but the Avella has all of the same capabilities. Let's begin with the physical aspect. The only thing that distinguishes it from the iFootage is the logo. It looks nice, and the red accents are a nice touch. Then comes the building phase. I haven't used it much, but from what I've seen, it appears to be well-made and free of flaws. Is it, however, effective? Yes, it performs admirably; the fluid head isn't ideal, but it suffices as a monopod. I don't expect a mono to be able to replace a tripod; rather, it will aid in getting the shot in a more compact package. It pans and tilts fine, but it's not my Sachtler, and I don't require it to function as a full-fledged tripod. It gets the job done and allows a shooter to smoothly pan or tilt if necessary. Yes, I would buy it again because it comes with a bag for easy transportation.
I bought a few monopods and fluid heads to try out, and I was hoping to fall in love with the iFootage monopod and fluid head. Out of the four brands I tried (Manfrotto, Benro, Cayer, and Avella), which appeared to be the most attractive. However, after comparing the price to that of the Avella, I couldn't justify the higher cost. br>br>The Avella CD324 Carbon Fiber Video Monopod Kit is built to a high standard and costs about a third of the price of the ifootage monopod with K5 head. This monopod is fantastic; it's light, and the leg stance is much wider for added support; however, there's one thing to keep in mind. Remove the provided tool from the side pouch of the carrying bag as soon as you open the box and tighten everything up. After that, it feels solid as a rock.
This monopod was recently delivered to me, and I am quite pleased with it. The quality and durability have really impressed me. It also includes a lovely storage bag. It was sturdy enough to hold my Mirrorless camera with a 200-mm lens when I used it for the first time yesterday. 600 lens. I wouldn't leave the camera on this without holding it, but the head was able to lock in without the camera tilting up or down. When unlocked, the head moved freely, making it ideal for photographing birds. This question had been posed to others, but they had given me the incorrect response. Turning two set screws removes the bottom, which can then be used as a small tripod. It can be used without a head or with one. It's well-made and light enough to carry around. My only minor gripe is that the head is a Manfrotto 501, but my camera's foot is Arca Swiss compatible, so you'll need to use the supplied plate on the lens foot. I'm trying to figure out how to make the head Arca Swiss compatible. I believe this monopod is extremely affordable, and I would not hesitate to purchase it.
I had a hard time getting the legs to lock in the tripod's middle section. I couldn't get my locks to open. The 2nd lock kept sliding down to the 3rd lock, and I'd lose anywhere from 12 to 18 dollars each time. 18 inches in length I tried tightening the locks, but they refused to lock! The box that I received as a replacement for this item was already opened and re-opened when I received it. Because of the package tempering, I return the item taped and without opening it.
For my Nikon P900, this is an excellent monopod/tripod - I won't leave the house without it, even though it's also useful from inside. The loading plate is my only real complaint. It necessitates carrying a quarter or similar tool to ensure it's tight on the camera, and there's barely enough room to loosen or tighten the nut that secures it to the monopod because it hits the camera. The camera could be cleared if the tightening nut's plastic wing was just a few millimeters shorter. By no means would I describe the monopod as light - It is, however, sturdy.
video on-the-go This monopod is fantastic and lightweight! I was skeptical, but I wanted to try something small and portable for a shoot. The base is solid, and the telescoping center pole is durable and reliable. There's a slight wobble that gets worse as you raise it higher, but it gives it a "handheld" look. br>br>What makes this such a good deal is the fluid head! It's very smooth, and it allows for excellent tracking of your subject, as well as a very nice carrying case - Perhaps a minor point, but since cases are subjected to a lot of abuse, it's nice to have one that looks sturdy and dependable. There are many other monopods available, but this one meets all of the essential requirements: br>br>There are many other monopods available, but this one meets all of the essential requirements: low-cost, durable, and simple to use It's simple to use and has a smooth motion. br>br>It's also very adaptable and customizable, allowing you to remove the tri-fold. Adjust the monopod's angle by placing your foot on the base. On the monopod, each locking clamp can be tightened or loosened to your preference.
This is the monopod for you if you want something small enough to throw in your bag and be ready for anything. It accommodates my D5600 camera, which has an 18-megapixel sensor. A rode mic with minimal wobble and a 200mm lens If the wind is particularly strong, I simply wrap a sand bag around the base and call it a day. br>br>Having two heads alone makes this well worth the money; the fluid head is cool, but you can't complain for less than $200. If you're looking to upgrade from a crappy tripod and need something that'll be ready in a matter of seconds, JUST DO IT! br>br>I purchased this because my main tripod was stolen while I was at an event, and I needed something that didn't take up too much floor space with the legs extended. Because people would knock over my tripod, I used an old Walmart monopod taped to my event table (Hood- In the know, tastic! )br>br>The only caveat is that if you really want a stronger base or are shooting with a full frame camera, spend more money and be happy. This is for those who want to upgrade or have a backup plan in case of an emergency.
