Manfrotto 682B

The Manfrotto 682B is a heavy-duty monopod that extends to more than 170cm. Not compact- it's 70cm collapsed, and weighs about 1.2kg- but it's sturdy as you'd need, with a payload of 11kg. Even better: you can unscrew the foot to reveal a three-legged support that lets the monopod stand on its own. This is not a tripod per se, and you don't want to leave it unattended, but it can provide much needed stability with heavier loads. In very good cosmetic condition, with some finish wear.
