Product Information

Full details

The Manfrotto 695SC2 is a versatile monopod accessory designed for photographers and videographers seeking enhanced stability. Its key benefit is providing a wider, more secure base through a combination of a rubber suction cup and a retractable spike. A potential caveat is its additional weight and bulk compared to a standard monopod foot. This durable technopolymer foot with stainless steel components offers a non-slip grip and reliable performance for various shooting conditions.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the 695SC2 foot?

The primary advantage is its ability to significantly enhance monopod stability on a wide variety of surfaces, thanks to its dual suction cup and retractable spike design.

Can I use the suction cup on carpet?

No, the suction cup is designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces like tile, wood, or polished concrete. For carpet or uneven ground, you would use the retractable spike.

What material is the foot made from?

The foot is constructed from durable black technopolymer, with stainless steel screws and fixings for the spike mechanism.

How much does the 695SC2 foot weigh?

The Manfrotto 695SC2 foot weighs approximately 140 grams.

Is this foot compatible with all Manfrotto monopods?

It is compatible with many Manfrotto monopods that have a standard threaded connection at the base. It's recommended to check your specific monopod model's compatibility.

How do I clean the suction cup?

Clean the suction cup with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dry before attempting to use its adhering function for best results.

Troubleshooting

Monopod is unstable even with the foot attached

Ensure the suction cup is clean and making full contact with a smooth, non-porous surface. For uneven terrain, ensure the spike is fully extended and engaged.

Suction cup not adhering

Clean the suction cup thoroughly with a damp cloth. Ensure the surface it's applied to is also clean and free from dust or moisture. Avoid using on very rough or porous surfaces.

Spike is difficult to retract or extend

Check the mechanism for any debris or obstruction. Gently clean the spike and the housing. If resistance persists, contact customer support.

Foot seems loose on the monopod

Ensure the foot is screwed on tightly. If the monopod's base thread is damaged, it may require professional attention or a replacement monopod base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Manfrotto 695SC2 is designed to be easily attached to compatible Manfrotto monopods. Simply unscrew the existing foot from the base of your monopod and screw on the 695SC2 until it is securely fastened. The retractable spike is operated manually; pull it out for use on softer surfaces and push it back in for storage or use on hard surfaces.

Compatibility: This monopod foot is specifically designed for certain Manfrotto monopod series. Always check your monopod's specifications to ensure compatibility before purchasing. It typically fits monopods with a standard threaded connection at the base.

Care: To maintain its performance, regularly clean the rubber suction cup and the stainless steel spike with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is trapped in the moving parts of the spike mechanism. Store the foot with the spike retracted to prevent damage and accidental puncture.
