The most versatile piece of equipment a videographer can have, is a video monopod pioneered by Manfrotto, particularly the latest 561BHDV-1. Re-incarnated in several forms, emulated by many, the Jieyang JY0506 is receiving rave reviews from all over. Being much more affordable for practically the same quality, the Jieyang JY0506 monopod for video comes with a fluid head, 'tripod' flat legs, and most importantly, a BAG which Manfrotto conveniently leaves out, while charging a premium for their bags.

Fluid head with a standard comfortable tilt-arm. The JY0506 comes with a standard tripod plate with 1/4" as well as 3/8" male screws. Attach regular DSLR/compact cameras or larger production video cameras with ease!

Stable 'tripod' feet forms a stable base, allowing one to shoot without touching the camera at all!

Easy height adjustments with the scroll lock system, the video monopod retracts from 160cm to a small easy to carry form factor of 65cm. It comes with a BAG too!

The JY0506 is very similar to the Manfrotto 561BHDV-1 in terms of features/looks
