Tripod with five sections
The extremely strong tripod leg of the MP-285C is made up of five easy to extend sections. This monopod is secured with a flexible screw lock or twist lock. This means that you can easily turn the leg loose and tight with a simple turn of the screws. To prevent cold hands during use, Leofoto has applied a rubber foam covering to the upper leg section. The monopod is equipped with a shock-absorbing rubber foot for a stable grip on any surface.
Solid carbon monopod
Carbon tripods are comparatively very light and at the same time extremely strong. Moreover, a carbon tripod absorbs vibrations. The Leofoto MP-285C carbon monopod is certainly no exception to that rule. With a load capacity of 15kg, you can use almost any professional camera/lens combination on this monopod. The monopod is made of cross-woven and reinforced carbon fibre and the leg has five sections with a maximum diameter of 28mm and a minimum diameter of 17mm. The tripod plate has a combined 1/4-inch and 3/8-inch tripod screw so that you can easily mount a (compact) ball head such as the Leofoto VH-10. A metal bracket with wrist strap ensures that you cannot accidentally drop this Leofoto monopod.

ExcellentI've been using this monopod for a while now to stabilise my kit when taking pictures of birds and wildlife.
I have found it gives me the stability I need with long lenses, but still giving me mobility the follow their flight.
The extended length is ideal for me to point the camera up at birds flying without having to stoop.
For moving around the woods and fields I find the wrist loop comforting so I can't drop my kit. The weight and padding mean I can carry it extended over my shoulder, with the camera attached, quite comfortably.
The compacted length means that the bullhead I've attached stands proud of my camera rucksack, but on rough ground I'm more likely to use it as a rock solid walking stick rather than carry it on my bag.
It was the quality of this monopod that convinced me to buy my Leofoto ranger tripod for landscape and astro work.Posted on
