It seems to me they are very much alike. The 681b has a higher load capacity. Is it because it has 3 legs instead of 4 or is it actually a more heavy duty Monopod?

Nick5 Goldmember More info | Jul 12, 2010 08:25 | #4 With the 680B being 4 sections when not in use it does collapse shorter in length compared with the 3 section 681B. How tall are you?
