Specs on B&H. Maybe that includes the box and marketing blurbs.

---------------------------------
The ball head is the Manfrotto 308 RC quick release which was originally
on my tripod. Put there because I didn't have any other head for it.
The Manfrotto monopod looks like it would support a 4x5 camera. That's
why I'd like to find something lighter.
