Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do you need a ball head?

A: You only really need a single axis head such as the Oben VH-R2. With a monopod you pan by simply rotating the entire monopod. Such a head is easier to adjust one-handed when using a monopod. Unlike a tripod, a monopod won't stand on its own while you use one hand to hold the camera/lens so they don't flop around while using the other hand to loosen and tighten the adjustment knob.

Q: 2. What model number bag comes with this kit? Is it the MBAG100PN?

Q: 3. I shoot HS hockey. In some rinks it may be necessary to remove the ground level spreader. Can this be easily done? Thank you!

Q: 5. Hi,I'm thinking of buying the OBEN ACM-2400L along with 'Manfrotto 498RC2 Midi Ball Head with 200PL-14 QR Plate'. Are they compatible to one another? Manfrotto monopod with self-standing legs is a bit too long for my liking (31' with ball head)

A: Yes. The 498RC2 Ball Head will work on the Oben ACM-2400L. Since the monopod has both a 1/4-20 and 3/8 compatible male thread, any standard head will work.

A: This kit comes with a padded bag.

Q: 7. What is the max load of this Manfrotto 500BALL 100mm half ball leveler?
