Highlights
Quality
I am very impressed with the quality of the opteka carbon fiber monopod.
I use this monopod with the opteka ts-1 pistol grip ball head and have had good results.
I doubt there is a better monopod out there that can match the opteka quality at the price i paid ($60).
I needed at least that length, and the opteka goes to 68.
Price
I guess i just feel that a monopod should be no frills/gimmicks and simple enough that it shouldn't cost too much.
Packaging/appearance
The levers on the manfrotto were definitely easier.

Comes with a nice case and accepts both screw sized of heads 14 in tripod and the larger 38 in i believe given the price this is a throw away item but given the rigidity of it easily holding a 8lb camera package i suspect it will stick around for quite a while before needing to be replaced

When considering which monopod to purchase i would highly recommend the opteka cfm300 it has height durability not flexible like an aluminum sports photographers will know what i am talking about here and it is lightweight

When you press the screw against the mounting point on your camera the 38 inch threads which are spring loaded are pushed out of the way to allow the 14 inch center portion to thread in the camera
