Together with the announcement of the release of the Nest NT-6324CT Carbon Fiber Traveler Tripod posted last night, came the announcement of the release of two new Nest monopods in the US market.
The new NT-226C and NT-232C Carbon Fiber monopods share all the design and quality characteristics of the Nest "Professional Line" of tripods, offering a versatile, compact and lightweight, yet sturdy solution for tight spaces.
Although the words "Carbon Fiber" ring bells of high prices, Nest Carbon Fiber tripods and monopods won't set you back on your budget as they are priced similar to quality Aluminium alloy equivalents.
Since, these monopods are not listed in the Nest website yet, I assume that Desmond Photogrpahic Distibutors who carry the Nest line in the US, are the first to market them internationally.
The NT-226C and NT-232C Monopods
Common Features:
Besides the patented 1/4 turn twist locks of the Nest Professional Series, which were presented in detail in the Nest NT-6294CT Carbon Fiber Traveler Tripod Review, the monopods share a versatile top mounting platform with a stainless steel reversible stud.
Further, Desmond Photographic Distributors, who carry their own brand of Desmond Quick Released clamps, have made also available a combo of the Nest monopods with the Desmond DDSC-60 Arca-Swiss® compatible Discal Clamp at a very attractive price.
I hope you found the information useful, thank you for viewing.
