Lightweight but Sturdy May 25, 2007

I REALLY like this monopod. I am 6'1", 235lbs and this is my first monopod. It is very light, but it was plenty sturdy for use as a walking stick on the trails in Arches NM. It was great as a monopod for a Canon S2, plenty of length for my height. A Sony A100 DSLR was a little heavy for this monopod, but it was still usable. Highly recommended for relatively light cameras.
Sturdy! January 18, 2008

I just recieved this monopod from Amazon, and the quality far surpasses what I expected. Like the reviewer before me stated, it could actually be used as a walking stick, very sturdy. I looked long and hard before I chose this unit. A lot of other monopods got marginal reviews because they were flimsy and weak... not this one. The hight was important also, I'm 6' tall, and this stick is plenty high enough, even for someone 6'2" or taller. It is a little heavy, and long at 21" collapsed, but the quality more than makes up for it. I was glad I chose this unit with the tilting head, it is far strong enough for my Canon S3, and should handle something 2 or 3 times heavier with ease. The black annodized aluminum is flawless, and the quick clamps are strong and positive. In my opinion: a must buy.

This product is great. Lightweight, portable, fast release.very rigid for most small, medium and lightweight SLRs.
Good value May 12, 2008

Simple and strong for the price. Ball head works well, strap is sturdy enough. The ball clamp and adjuster are metal while the leg clamps are unfortunately the usual composite plastic. Be careful with the clamps if you are ever shooting in cold conditions, lest they shatter on you. The legs slide smoothly and the whole construct is quite steady even when fully extended. As others have mentioned, it's a bit long when closed. For the entry-level of expense we're talking about here, it's good quality.
