Let's be real. You can't even find a Manfrotto monopod at that price. The price alone should be a red flag. I own several gimbals and my 2 worst gimbals are Feiyutech. I own the AK4000 it's horrible I have no use for it and this Manfrotto gimbal looks just like it with a lighter payload so I'd say this is a rebrand AK2000 don't waste your money.

dang, really!? i can't find info on this thing hardly anywhere... a few google reviews say it's ok. saw this youtube video & had me pretty stoked, but now I'm not so sure. This thing plus the remote for ~$237 seems pretty slick... might be nice for my a6600
Do you have a link for the $40 remote? I can't find it.
Edit: figured it out. At least for mobile browser, instead of adding straight to cart, you need to click on the item photo in the deal zone to trigger the options pop-up.

What drunk idiot came up with the name "Manfrotto"? Probably great product, but I would scratch that name off of it.
It's Italian, and it's a well-known vendor of camera gear and accessories, such as tripods.
"Lino Manfrotto, an Italian photojournalist, began designing and selling light stands, booms, and telescopic rods under the name "Manfrotto" in the late 1960s." ~Wikipedia

I think my made-in-Italy Manfrotto monopod cost me ~$50 new ten years ago.
But more to the point, this looks like a rebrand of the AK2000, but at least looks to include some of the extra focus pieces and the 2nd handle. The Feiyutech was OK for recreational use, but IMO unreliable for critical situations. Doubt I'd ever buy another from the brand the way the others keep advancing the tech.

So you're saying the drunk idiot was his father, got it.

Camera people can't take a joke...Italian or not, it is a terrible name
