The Manfrotto 685B Neotec Monopod Deluxe features the innovative NeoTec rapid opening and closing mechanism. The automatic, 3 section Manfrotto 685B provides immediate single handed final height adjustment.

The leg opens up by simply pulling down on it, and automatically locks into any position, with no screws, knobs or levers to tighten. The Manfrotto 685B Neotec Monopod now also sports a safety lever that prevents accidental deployment of the locking release mechanism. To close the monopod, simply activate the safety lever with the small 'pinkie' finger, which then allows the grip action handle to be depressed. The lever is simple to operate while still maintaining the one-handed closing operation. And this innovative mechanism exerts more locking power the heavier the weight pushing down on it from above. It's upside-down leg construction also prevents water or mud from entering the padded leg-warmer protects your hands from hot and cold weather. 

Squeeze the trigger handle and the top section can be raised or lowered, release, and it locks in position. The lower two sections have a twist lock action for additional height adjustment. The top plate has a dual 1/4" - 3/8" camera fixing screw.

To further improve the single-handed performance of the  Manfrotto has added a lightweight rubber foot pedal to make opening or closing a snap. To increase the height of the camera, simply step on the pedal and lift the monopod to the new position. For storage and transportation, the foot pedal folds away against the bottom leg section.

Manfrotto has also added a protective leg-warmer on the bottom leg section to provide protection against the elements and offer a comfortable grip during transportation. And for extra ground support and increased grip, a suction cup foot has been added.

All these features add up to Manfrotto's most advanced monopod, while maintaining the extremely powerful Neote clocking system to withhold the heaviest of camera systems making it the ideal tool for the extreme sports photographer to the advanced amateur.
