Manfrotto 681 Monopod- used this extensively with my 300 on sports venues.
No issues! I can look into view finder at full height. $60
Sunway Foto DT-01 - this is a tilt head for monopod use. Capacity 26# Priced at $60
If you purchase both, I will sell for $100 total!
Thanks for looking!
Looks like the ball head is missing the piece that screws into the bottom of the camera so you can attach it to the ball head.
Also I can't tell from the monopod picture how the camera mounts. It looks like there is some kind of loop. Or do you need to mount the ball head on it and then attach the camera?

I believe the loop is for your hand to go through just like ski poles have.

On your first question, not sure what you mean. There is nothing missing.
The loop is for your hand to go through; you can mount a camera directly to the monopod or in my case, I use the sunwayfoto tilt. Worked great with my 300 prime.

It appears that both heads are missing their quick release plates.

There is nothing missing on either of those products! The thumb screw secures the foot on the lens.
That's a good chunk of gear for $355, even without the plates. Pretty sure both heads accept Arca-Swiss?
Cripes, I have a half dozen plates laying on the shelf, thought most photo nuts had plenty.

The standard foot of most lenses will not fit on these heads. And of course a release plate will be needed to mount a camera. When new, I'm sure that both of those heads were sold with a quick-release plate.
I have extra plates and I will throw them in, but these heads accept Arca-Swiss. I had my 70-200 and 300 attached to both of these without anything else needed. The foot on each lens attaches to the sunwayfoto clamp and to the Benro.

I have been following this, since I am in the market for a tall tripod. According to Amazon, however, the maximum height of the 3021 is 69.3 inches *with* the centre column. That's no taller than what I have now...
With the tripod extended, without the center column, when you put the ballhead on and mount the camera, at 6', I can look straight into view finder. I know there are taller ones out there in the Gitzo's. The bottom line is, even if you have to raise the center column up an inch, it will work without the wobble. Just my opinion.

Good to hear! Now the prospective buyer is assured of being able to mount virtually any camera or lens on either head. And I share your opinion of the tripod ... mine is still serving me well after 40+ years of use.
Will entertain offers! All gear must go!
This gear is still available. Make me an offer!!!
