The iFootage Cobra 3 monopod is one of the most popular monopod models on the market today, and perhaps for good reason. But how does this monopod really stack up in regards to its features and price point? Furthermore, is there any big difference between the Cobra 3, and its extremely noteworthy predecessor, the Cobra 2?

In this review, I'll cover all of the many specifications and features of the iFootage Cobra 3, specifically the CB3 C180F-P version, which includes the carbon fiber body and integrated legs with the foot pedal design. However, after going into detail on the Cobra 3, we'll provide a comparison between the Cobra 3 and the popular Cobra 2. In this case, specifically considering both the similarities and differences between the two models, and some unique features between the two that most people aren't talking about.

After comparing the two latest Cobra varieties, we'll then evaluate what I use this monopod for - covering real world situations such as weddings, commercials, and other shooting scenarios, and including footage from cameras like my Sony a7R V and a7S III where I've used the Cobra 3. Last, we'll cover the price and many different options available for the CB3 - including aluminum models, and accessories available separately like the CB3 Base - and last, offer my final thoughts.

All in all, when it comes to considering the ideal monopod to purchase, or even a first model to choose, I feel confident in saying that the iFootage Cobra 3 should be at the top of your list.
