3 CLEVER MONOPOD TRICKS YOU SHOULD KNOW - iFootage Cobra 2 C180 II

[@kylethompson7254]

Because of you David. I have bought an Insta 360 one r twin edition thing with a bike bundle and another selfie stick invisible Harry Potter cloak and am now excited to go hiking with it and do random things on my bicycle. Can not wait to crash and view it in 360°. Thank you David. You inspire me.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Did I catch a Harry Potter cloak in there?!🤣 Awesome!

[@billgriffis5069]

Of the many monopods I have used, the iFootage is by far the best. And not only does it make a great boom pole for a mic, it's great to hold a flash for overhead light.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Oh man, I didn't even think of that yet, but that's genius!

[@Livhis]

I'm a photographer. I found your video and bought both of these. All I can say is WOW! Very, very nice products!! I liked and shared to Facebook and Twitter. Thank you for the video! It really helped me decide what to buy!

[@Eucharist3]

Thanks for the tips David... hooking it in your belt... genius.

[@DavidManningvlog]

For sure my favorite tip! People always laugh at me at Morgan's shows, but I get some incredible results!

[@MorganLeighMusicNow]

That’s a beast of a mono pod 😳

[@PaulFeinberg]

I for sure want one.....Would be perfect for real estate photography. Great video as always.

[@pinkflamingos69]

I know this is 2 years old, but even back then I think most videographers that were more recent into the field have never touched a monopod in their lives... or handheld... or barely tripod. It's all gimbal, all the time. Sad really. I'm happy to see good products still coming out for the few of us that use other support besides gimbals.

[@BaluSrinivasan]

Option 3 is a super tip! Thanks!

[@MaxPhotoGraphic]

Top video, actually monopod on the belt is a huge idea. Thanks, Max

Hey David! Nice vid man,was waiting for that! Thanks dude!

[@joycady8325]

Thanks for the link, you made it so easy.....

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks Joy! Always trying to break it down as simply as possible!

[@CTLive]

You missed the most amazing effect with your monopod...loosen the bottom of the monopod so it can tilt backwards and forwards and the head which will allow you to do AMAZING track into a subject or out of...lean as far back as possible then slowly move camera forward while tilting up to keep subject in frame... you can mini track in and out of anything 👍😎 Next week how to do the perfect hypersmooth pans😃

[@DavidManningvlog]

Ahhhh, that is a sweet move with monopods!

Love it Rhyan!

[@HawkesVids]

They work good for filming wildlife. You can get up to 14-15 ft high to film inside a bird nest or you can stay hidden in underbrush and raise it up over it without freaking out the animal. Tons of options with one. I just have cheap one and pretty cool with a ball head attached. I made me a little pouch and put on a camera strap that I just put around my neck and stick one in it for stability.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's a really clever use for them Hawke! I like the pouch around the neck idea!

[@HawkesVids]

@@DavidManningvlog At first would do kinda like you and just kinda stick in my pants, but not very comfortable and some strange looks . lol

[@CharlieAshman]

Great video mate!

[@elbaby2001]

I love using my A180 when i take 360 videos and pictures with my GoPro Fusion. Just like you said, I was not paying attention to it, i turn my back for a few seconds to get something and a gust of wind knock over the monopod and there went the lens on the 360 camera with it. Oh well needed a reason to upgrade the 360 camera. One feature you forgot to show on the video, you can unscrew the red knob off the base and attach it to the rod if you want to have a standard monopod.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Oh nooooo! Yeah, that's the false sense of security those little feet can offer. Bummed to hear you busted your GoPro, but stoked on what you'll pickup next! Which 360 cam are you looking at now?

[@elbaby2001]

@@DavidManningvlog I would love to have the Theta Z1 but at $1000, out of my price range for what I do as a hobby. So down to the Insta 360 One R, Gopro Max & QooCam 8K. Have you done any more videos using the Wiral Lite? I can see it in your videos on the top shelve. I used mine at work when I had to record at an arena we built.

[@MichaelSchultzNZ]

Man those are really good tricks, especially looking forward to putting a monopod in my pants soon

[@chrisbennett5796]

I already have one in mine, but it is the shorter version.

[@chrisbennett5796]

Lots of good info, thanks. It probably could have been half the length though, without repeating everything so much.

[@dennismoro-p2k]

thanks. just picked up a cobra 2, cf..

that's nice. thanks for the trick!

[@gtrlover3983]

I’m sold it’s very nice hope it isn’t too expensive!

[@MrPhilbautista]

The shorter one is better for travelers. Easier to pack and move around with. I got the longer one and it’s longer than I need for most cases. That’s not a bad thing but I think I would’ve preferred the shorter one had it been on sale too. But since the longer carbon fiber one was cheaper than the shorter carbon fiber one at the time, I just went cheap.

[@TechTonicSmoke]

Im sold. Period

[@kalebsfamilyadventures1820]

amazing monopod!

[@davecarrera]

Loving the two feet in pants trick. Will try it with iFootage C2 later.

[@CROFTYNESS]

I'd like to use this as a tripod to set my phone behind me while I'm on my PC. Do you think it would wobble a lot? Could I put weights on the base? Could it be offset with the angle and left like that to hold the phone?

[@derekgrimes6544]

0:54 " Look at how tall that thing is; hahahaa.. ! ". (Quickly edit out monopod falling over) ;) thx for the rad and funny video David.. !

[@TrailsToTracks]

Is that a monopod in your pants or are you just happy to see me? Lol

[@andrewlorenzlong]

for all of you that bought this, or David, could you use this for long exposure photography? I don't mean star photography or anything, but a half second or a few seconds exposure of a waterfall. Does it wobble (assuming no wind) too much for that? Would be great to NOT have to lug around a larger heavier tripod for simple long exposure shots....

[@MRMRS2wheeler]

Is that a monopod in your pants or are you just REALLY happy to see me? Sorry David, I couldn't resist. Great video once again.

[@danielpasionfilms]

Can I use this monopod with my DJI RS2 gimbal and my camcorder at the top? I want to know if this monopod could carry such a weight with the mobility to use my gimbal attached.

[@RetroCarGuy530]

To get the super high placement of the camera, I actually use two monopods (not the cheapest method, but it works great). I have a Corbra 2 A180-II and Cobra 2 C180-II along with the Komodo K5. I will put the C180-II monopod on the top of the A180-II monopod and I can get that really high up shot with ease. It allows the bottom monopod to still be on the ground. That configuration gets some interesting high up shots at the car shows I've attended in the past. I usually attach a clamp to the lower monopod so I can attach my phone to see what the camera is seeing with its remote control app on the phone. The quality of the iFootage equipment has been outstanding!

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's a killer setup! Yeah, I've been super impressed by iFootage gear. Mainly that it's just built so damn sturdy!

[@EDSC_CANADA]

"the monopod is actually in my pants" said no one ever. Except David LOLO

[@thornwebdesign]

Super awesome piece of equipment. Also just noticed that you have over 100k subscribers. Wow, a super well done for that. I think the last time I really concentrated on your sub count you were around 10 or something, I wonder how long it will take to get to 250?.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Thanks David! I'm just focusing on making the videos and then super grateful for the love they're getting!

[@thornwebdesign]

@@DavidManningvlog Well, the content that you create is such high quality, I am not surprised that your channel has done so well.

[@AdventuresInOhioandBeyond]

Dang you and your affiliate links and good ideas, I just ordered one, thank goodness it was a primeday deal. I usually use a monopod with an assistant taking portraits, they hold flashes and softboxes and are easily portable. What many refer to as the "voice activated" light stand.

[@elderwand9012]

My quick release is not working, as if it’s glued on the tripod. Any suggestions 😕

[@jcvera]

Trick number 5: if you have two monopods, you can also attach each other and then you will have more than 12 feet high.

[@DavidManningvlog]

That's a brave tip!

[@jcvera]

@@DavidManningvlog is great in events and like at weddings dance floor it help me to recreate a Drone footage walking slow.

[@timdriman4253]

That's so clever! I have just ordered one :-) Thanks David. :-)

[@jupiterman7]

I have to say it's pretty good... only suggestion would be to have it collapse with one more section so it would be smaller when fully collapsed... Then it would be perfect in my book

[@JimMorrison-m8x]

Is that a monopod in your pants, or are you just glad to see me? Sorry, that was too easy.😂

[@laurenthenry]

Transceiver !

[@MuradAkram]

Can you attach Ronin-S gimble on this?

[@barryobrien1890]

Use a strap and pull down to get more stable shots. Any monopod is fine, but this one has a few gadgets

[@kasunsathyajith-ll1ks]

Great👍

[@brettyg76]

I have a monopod but have hardly ever used it... maybe I should put it to use a lot more... in saying that, I've attached my Weebill Lab gimbal to my monopod and have played around with it and have created some epic high shots.

[@Ralph-ha]

can I use it for an insta360 one r?

[@TheTheseboots]

[@TheCameraManReviews]

Yeah I hate it when I need that extra length and I haven't got it.... She always leaves disappointed.

[@DavidManningvlog]

😮

[@TonyHobbs]

Is this £120 one on amazon? How heavy is it?

[@vartanarakelian4643]

I see holding the handle where you can move the camera downward ( ground )and backward ( sky ) but what if you want to take a picture vertical instead of horizontal? Also seems to me there is a need of a seperate bracket underneath the camera.

[@hankfink5412]

Hey, if you're taking pictures vertical on this monopod you can just switch out the video fluid head for a ball head that tilts 90 degrees to give you the vertical shot. Or get a cage for your camera that has a mounting screw on the side

[@Matt.Bogosian]

Is the Komodo really necessary? I feel like you can get all the same movement without it. Maybe the Komodo is smoother?

[@MyRustBeltLife]

That is a super cool set up but man almost $400. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Maybe one day. 😎👍🏻

[@DavidManningvlog]

For sure man, BUT for the level this thing is at, it's a great price compared to the competition. And super impressive!

[@MyRustBeltLife]

Oh I’m not knocking it. That mono pod looks very nice and high quality. It just seems to be targeting the pro photography market more than the hobbyist like me with the price. Like everything else tho. You get what you pay for and this looks absolutely awesome.

[@oskar4037]

Mono pod 🙂

[@ReaverStudios]

I've got the older model and also use the Komodo. Love the setup! I've used it on weddings and racing events. It's really good!

[@bngr_bngr]

Great tips on using a monopod. The one you showed is a bit crazy. I rather have a compact monopod that fits in my bag. I tend to use Gitzo six section monopods that hold 66 pounds.

[@MrPhilbautista]

David, you are short changing yourself if you’re not mounting a gimbal to the monopod while on a boosted board. Faux drone shots where drones aren’t allowed.

[@Dmitriy.0]

When are we gonna see footage from Little Buddy? Also, "Is that a monopod in your pants, or are you just happy to see me?"

[@DavidManningvlog]

Oh man, I'll drop some in a future video, but there's no actual crash footage. There's about a 10-15 second buffer in the drone before that footage is written to the SD card. So the last 10-15 seconds before the crash were never recorded. I know, I'm bummed too!

[@robinhoodloom5795]

#PepStepAnthem made by Monopod

[@hcp0scratch]

Nope, they can call it what they want. But that is a tripod. 3 separate feet. Yes, they are much much closer together than the norm but it is still a tripod. Therefore I do not think utilizing this item as an example of the benefits of monopods is the best of ideas. Having said that, I was thinking that perhaps a next step in the tripod progression would be to enable it to get as narrow of a base as this so-called monopod of yours. Best of Both Worlds.

[@DavidManningvlog]

Haha! Well, the bottom feet are removable so you can go truly monopod mode. But when you loosen the bottom ball joint, it moves around like a monopod, but then when you lock that ball joint it stands like a tripod. That's the best of both worlds👍

[@hcp0scratch]
