You can check out the prices at the usual list of shops AP,CP, MS etc or check out the mass sales / order section

Am thinking of getting a monopod too .... but got no time to shop at the moment. Saw a MO thread on manfrotto at prices start at $80 (?). Pls let us know where and what you found.

Walked past Cathay at Marina Square one day and if i remebered correctly, there's some kind of promotion and the monopod is only $40 or so. Can't remember which brand though. Can call & check with them.

Called CP and they told me that Manfrotto Monopod 679B with 234RC head is offering at S$86.00. So cheap ...... its likely w/o gst. Promotion offer now on till 26 Nov

it has some good monopods in display, some ballheads also... price looks alright...
I bought a gitzo mono there..

for a cheap but good monopod, go for mafrotto.
do not get from CP since CP now is the distributor of mafrotto, normally distributor won't spoil the market, they will always follow the recommended retail price strictly since they can earn from their vendors.

so go for Lords, they have enough for models for your selection and price wise is quite negotiable, since their intention is buy(from CP)/sell(to you) quick to speed up the turn over rate in order to get profits.

i cant believe cp prices for the monopods.
they charges are unbelievable!
i didnt know until i check the M.O thread.
someone is selling the manfrotto monopods at almost HALF the price of cp.

what prices you see at their store is probably their "sticker" price. try asking 1st before committing. no harm asking yeah?

do try Giottos or Benro brand for something more budget

i know sticker price and verbal price diff.

but it's still so much more.
