I was looking for the 561BHDV-1 but it said it replaces the MVM500A 561BHDV-1. Someone know how these two monopod are compared, what is different?

From what I can tell the two are exactly the same except that the quick release plate slides in on the 561BHV-1 and this one loads in from the top. It's intended to be a little quicker to put on.

Just a a minor correction to one of the previous answers, the head is removeable. It's a great monopod.

The MVM500A uses the new style MVH500 head instead of the older 701HDV head. Note that in the newer design the head in not removable and the pan movement is in the base instead of the head. But it is a newer model and it works well.

Yes, I had the previous model, loved it, and it was stolen. I bought the second model skeptical that it was the same product, but the way the handle on the pivot head was made is more durable. It's an improvement, don't worry. The quick release plates are still interchangeable. This one pivots from the bottom too, which is great for panning shots. You use your whole body.

Mine fell off without me knowing about it which was a surprise. I contacted Gitzo but never heard back but I know you can purchase replacement parts directly from them. I ended up purchasing on Amazon the Gitzo G1220.129B Stainless Steel Spike For Monopod

That would be a good question for Sirui - check out their website siruicanada.com. I can tell you the monopod does not come with a tri-claw base and from what I can tell the base of the monopod is not interchangeable.

Looking over both ads, they are the same product, just different pricing. AS for the M570 itself, this last order was the 3rd of the same model over the last several years. Mine is used quite extensively and the battery life is remarkable, performance is flawless and just an all-around pleasure to use. Over time, they fall on occasion onto my tile floors so they wear out just from being manhandled. But I keep ordering the same for it works so well.

This monopod will definitely support the Sigma 150-500. The monopod is extremely sturdy. I use the Really Right Stuff Monopod head to connect my lenses to this monopod. That makes it much easier to change out lenses as needed.

I bought it with only one head, the 8.5 mm. I didn't need the smaller diameter, 5.5mm. According to Autel, either 5.5 or 8.5 mm imager heads are supported by the same display body. On Amazon, I saw an 8.5 mm head for sale separately, but they aren't cheap - I think it was $75. I think the 5.5mm head costs a bit more, so if you really need its smaller diameter, definitely buy that one to start with. Once you have the 5.5mm head, you may never have a need for the 8.5mm head. Regarding length, I haven't seen anything for the Autel MV208 other than the 1 meter. If it's important to have greater lengths, definitely contact Autel to find out if they are available. It looks pretty much impossible to modify or adapt an imaging head, so find out before you buy.

Not sure why you asked the question but you can use any monopod with any camera. A difference will only be quality, price, and height. This is a quality monopod but it is a little heavier than my previous Manfrotto pod, it is also taller. NOTE; You will need to buy a head attachment to mount your camera to this monopod.

I like the 561 better because of the legs at the bottom allowing you to balance the monopod without holding it. Also the fluid head is amazing! If I were to shoot a soccer game in windy conditions, id look at a tripod since its a little more stable than a monopod.

Amazon sells several options starting around 8 bucks I think. Wal-Mart sells a monopod for 15. I bought Mike from Amazon and I love it.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

I didn't see any difference. I am very happy with mine, it woulds like I believe it should. There was only one issue with the viewfinder which in my opinion become too easily detached, but I am sure that's only my model. I would say do more research on this 1d in comparison to others. You can always buy and return it to if you don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping it back if you don't like it.

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

I agree with Hernandez and Moss. Make sure the bipod is the newer clamp redesign as the older model had a nasty habit of snapping open.

Far as I can tell it's the same model. I think they're both made by a company called swivy. Carey speed has a good brand name but overpriced. They have a vf4 that is more compact and exposes the slr buttons better but is way overpriced IMO. My ggs works just fine. I took it to mt Everest and it was terrific and didn't break. Only lost a screw tho. Make sure those are dialed in good

The Makayama is definitely setup better to be mounted on a tripod and/or monopod. shooting hand-held is similar to just shooting without a mount. I used Makayama for recording a ton of my daughters volleyball games. Hope this helps.

The Giottos MH621 would be a less expensive option vs. the Manfrotto 577 the reviews as far number customer stars are very similar the only difference seems to be the price. The only issue that I've had after a year of continued use of the MH621 was that the red release spring popped out. But that didn't affect the functionality. My suggestion is from time to time check any thing on you equipment that screws and tighten if needed.

I'm not sure what you are asking but I can tell that I have this monopod for about 6 years now and it works just great for me. I liked it because it is very long and the price is very good. The quality is realy good enough for me as I'm not a pro. good luck.
