5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, December 30, 2008

This review is from: Manfrotto 678 Monopod Universal Folding Base (Black) (Electronics)
Length:: 0:59 Mins

This base turns a Manfrotto 679, 680, 681 monopod into a tripod. Very cool. Works great on my Kodak Zi6. It would also work with my Nokia N95 and DT-22 tripod head.

This review is from: Manfrotto 678 Monopod Universal Folding Base (Black) (Electronics)
I purchased this item for an upcoming trip and wanted to pack lite. I had purchased the Manfrotto 680B Monopod because of it's small travel size and because I wanted something for those shots when you needed some type of support. At least one review said that you had to fasten the legs together to keep them from rattling around inside the base of the monopod. I did not have this problem. They fit snug and do not make any noise when they are collasped and stored inside the monopod. I wouldn't use the folding base with the camera unattended in breezy or windy conditions but it does have the ability to support the camera on its own using the monopod. I would not use a long lens and I would make sure one of the legs is in the same direction as the lens to reduce the chance of tipping in that direction. If you are in a seated situation you can still use the folding base. You can even put your feet on the legs to give the monopod extras stability allowing you to use your hands for camera settings instead of holding the monopod. I am very pleased with this item.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good addition..., October 12, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Manfrotto 678 Monopod Universal Folding Base (Black) (Electronics)
For many years I have had a similar product that I bought back in the 60's. I was made, or marketed, by Miida...no longer in business I am sure. I really liked having the ability to make that monopod into a limited duty tripod at times. This Manfrotto unit will also come in handy for similar situations. I paired this set of feet with a Manfrotto 480B monopod topped with a 234RC tilt head, so I now have a compact, all purpose accessory to keep close at hand all the time.
One thing I noticed as a difference between this one...and the old Miida that I have, is that on the Miida, when the legs are in use, the center of the monopod post actually touches the ground...whereas in the Manfrotto the center portion is above the floor or ground by a half inch or so.. This makes it not quite at stable and 'firm feeling' as the Miida, but it might be said that having just the three points of contact makes for a more adaptable unit...who knows??

Anyway, I am pleased to have an updated version of this...the 'flip locks' on the 480B allow me to change the height of the camera in just a few seconds...nice to have that ability...
