Product description
We offer the Manfrotto Element MII monopod and head with quick release as a kit. The monopod and head are delivered in two separate boxes but they can be easily assembled by the user. This monopod and head assembly weighs only 0.806 kg, yet it can hold up to 2.5 kg of equipment. It offers a steady mounting platform for binoculars as opposed to holding them in your hands. This makes it easier to use averted vision while observing faint deep sky objects in the night sky. Please note that this kit does not come with a carrying bag.
