3 Legged Thing Legends Lance
Score: 99/100
Benro MSSL110C
Score: 95/100Rankings
The Legends Lance is an ultra-tall 4-section carbon-fibre monopod that reaches 207 cm, supports up to 60 kg, and doubles as a boom arm thanks to dual-thread ends. Its lightweight carbon-fibre build and included DOCZ2 foot stabilizer make it ideal for professional photographers and videographers needing extreme height. Drawbacks include a sticky rubber grip, reliance on technique for stability at full extension, and the lack of an integrated video head.
The Benro SupaDupa Carbon Fiber Monopod offers an ultra-lightweight yet ultra-strong platform with a 6-section carbon-fiber build, high load capacity, and versatile height range. It excels for wildlife, sports and travel shooters who need rapid adjustments, but lacks an integrated bubble level and quick-release plate.
