Manfrotto has introduced the 561B monopod, featuring a stable, fluid design for smooth panning and image capture in any environment. The 561B is higher, sturdier and more robust than its predecessor, the 560B, making it ideal for Mini DV, HDV and photo applications; however, it boasts many of the same features as the 560B, including a fluid cartridge and three pivoting, retractable feet for the ultimate in jump free panning. Sold as a kit, the 561B comes included with a modified 701RC2 video head, offering shooters smooth, fluid tilts of +/- 90 degrees. All panning action is controlled by the fluid cartridge at the base of the monopod. With the modified 701RC2 head in place, the 561B weighs approximately 4.38 pounds and is able to support a maximum payload of 8.8 pounds. With over 48” of support, ranging from a minimum height of 30.71” to a maximum height of 79.53”, shooters can rest assured that with the 561B, they’ll have the support they need no matter what environment they happen to be in. The 561B has an estimated street price of $222.00.
