Actually I find it very convenient that the legs are always there (stowed away and almost weightless) and can be fold out whenever I need them, without having to screm them in! As for the height: they add maybe an inch or two depending on the weight you put on the monopod.

Cheers,

It’s unfortunate they aren’t screw-in as with other manufacturers. One other question: Does the maximum height include the fold-out legs, or just the normal extended height? I’m just trying to figure out if the shorter 91 model is tall enough for me.

Chris, if you don’t mind leaving the lower end of the monopod open – yes. If not, you could remove the legs from the cap but it it looks like there’s some force needed to push the pins out.

Cheers,

Can the fold-out legs be removed (non-destructively) if you don’t want to use them?

What is the name or gadget that you have in the picture with the Benro that you are using to clamp the lens? Where can I get one of those clamps to go on the C-10?

Thanks! Awesome setup.
