Benro Supadupa Pro MSDPL46C
£190/$250 www.benroeu.com
The Benro Supadupa Pro MSDPL46C proves there’s still innovation to be found in the humble monopod. A rotating foot makes it easier than ever to produce smooth panning movements, while a levelling head offers 20-degree movement in all directions – useful if you can’t quite get the monopod itself on level ground. The leg locks are all twist-style… except the top one, which has a flip catch that makes it very easy to use the top section for quick height adjustments. PROS Blend of locks; six sections for flexibility CONS Cheaper options exist
