What is the weight on this? I'm reading that its pretty heavy... I'm attaching it to a carbon fiber monopod so I'd like to have something light weight

Metal ( alluminum alloy) body and pkate with plastic ball head and weighs 13.3 oz. i'm not sure if you can find much lighter than that!

I can't give you and exact weight, Mary but I'm using mine on a carbon fiber monopod and it has a solid, well balanced feel. Unlike some ball heads, it locks securely with a simple rotation of a toggle screw. The quick release has the added advantage of a safety locking pin that prevents the camera mounting plate from coming off unintentionally.

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.

Mine isn't handy for a weigh-in at the moment, but Manfrotto's published weight is 1kg or 2.2 lbs.

It weighs more than a pound but it is very light. just be aware of all the comments about the legs not fully retracting. After a year of carrying it about 100 times, the leg problem is becoming almost constant and it's a really pain.

It's very light weight. No more than 5 lbs. Actually I think it weighs less. It's not something for the hardcore outdoor weather. I would recommend using this tripod indoors or places where wind is at a minimum.

The tripod was designed for the point and shoot cameras. Mine weighs 8 ounces and the pod is stout enough to easily carry more weight than that. Do you know how much your camera weighs? The mount is standard in the industry. Unless you have some odd camera it should fit every Canon camera made.

Look I have on this mi canon rebel t3i and a tascam recorder with a light on the top I don't now how much weight is but I can tell is heavy and the opteka moon grip still strong very secure and I don't have too much trouble with the weight but obvious all the tree items I carry on this is very light except for the recorder. But for sure is more than 5 pounds.

It's very lightweight aluminum, but strong. Realize I don't use it for anything that heavy. If you want something really solid, you might want to look into something which is not quite this portable..

It weighs around 6.5 or 7 pounds. Ive already mounted mine so I can't double check the weight but I'm pretty confident that it's around 6.5 or 7. Hope this helps.

This is for selfies and walking self video type stuff. A mono pod is much heavier and would be hard to hold at arms length with a camera attached. This is for things like a point and shoot or gopro camera.

I mounted it on my tripod & it worked out pretty good. I think it will also work with a monopod.

I don't have the actual weight but its plastic and hollowed aluminum and I would say its a couple (2) pounds at the most... The main problem with this is teh plastic on plastic contact and it tends to grab and then pop which if you are doing any wildlife or distance it can be frustrating... Any tripods that have plastic to plastic contact has this isue and you can pay $120 for some of these and they are the same as the $19.99 so keep that in mind.. In my opinion if you can find one that uses a metal uni-ball and one control level works both up and down it is very smooth and doesn't tend to wander or jump around like the plastic ones...

I just got it shipped in not too long ago and to answer your question you would need an attachment that screws onto a monopod. I haven't had the pole longer than a week and it already broke when I opened extended it. So I recommend maybe getting a pole with a little more value so you can enjoy filming for a little longer than I did

This tripod weights between 1 1/2 and 2 lbs. my husband uses it for his spotting scope. Packs it everywhere. He can think of nothing he dislikes about it.

Hi, this tripod weighs about 5 lbs, is easy to tote around and it is very well made and a nice value for the money. I can highly recommend it.

You could close the tripod and push the legs together and carry it around like a monopod , but it is not a monopod. If you really want a monopod I would suggest a Dolica WT-1003. Its lightweight, aluminum and very easy to pack or carry around for photo shoots. It has a screw on the base to stablize the monopod to prevent slipping on surfaces and it has worked fine for me. The price was around 20.00 and reasonable. It comes with its own canvas bag and it slips into your luggage very easily. If you use a ipad for pictures, you can also purchase a frame for it that attaches to the top for a few dollars more and it is handy when you don't want to use the camera.

Hi. I ended out returning the Manfrotto and purchasing a Carbon Fiber Gitzo based on the difference in weight, though the Manfrotto didn't weigh that much more (+ 1LB?). I am using a Sony RX1R, so even the 1 LB difference in weight was important since my camera is so compact. Unfortunately though, I cannot remark on your camera and lens from experience, since your carrying heavier equipment from the start, but it was a nice tripod and ball head for the price, rated to hold that weight, and seemed pretty portable over all. Hope that helps
