Product Description
More versatile than the other monopods, the OS 150 features a three way panhead with quick release camera mounting platform. The three way feature enables the user to shoot both horizontal and vertical pictures. Attach the quick release camera mounting platform to your camera and it is quick and easy to mount and remove your camera from the monopod. Simply open the sure lock lever on top of the panhead, slide the plate into the channel on the panhead, relock the lever, and you are ready to take pictures. When using a video camera, this panhead is essential because it allows you to move the camera vertically while keeping the monopod leg perpendicular to the ground. The OS 150 is a four-section monopod featuring a foam rubber comfort hand grip and a wrist carry strap. Quick action lever leg locks allow the legs to be extended and set for quick use. Simply unlock the leg lever, extend the leg to the desired position, relock the leg lever, and begin taking pictures. It has a retractable rubber foot with an outdoor ground spike. The rubber foot may be used on any indoor surface, or on a hard outdoor surface such as a concrete sidewalk. The spike may be used when on a dirt or grassy surface. When you do not want to carry a tripod but still need a stable platform for picture taking the, OS 150 monopod is perfect for the job.

 quality lacking October 15, 2007
C. Cohan (NY)

This looked like a quality monopod and the previous review seemed good, so I bought one. This monopod is sturdy. The sections slide out smoothly, they lock well, and the device is sturdy when extended. The problem is that the head is made of plastic (it looked like metal in the picture). It moves well, but it is not strong enough. Within 10 minutes of using it, the rod that locks the forward movement stopped working because the threads gave out in the plastic. This happened with normal use (I am very careful with equipment). Unfortunately, if you want a good head on the monopod, I think you have to buy a more expensive one.
 despite the ground spike glitch September 19, 2007
Daniel Elton Harmon (Spartanburg, SC USA)
I originally gave this three stars and would have given it five but for the "rubber foot with ground spike," which doesn't function at all, on my unit; the foot will screw neither in nor out to let you expose or flatten the tip. This could be a defective part from the manufacturer, or it may have been damaged by a previous customer. When the monopod arrived, one end of the manufacturer's box was open and the inside plastic sleeve wasn't taped, which suggests a previous customer may have broken it, or found it broken, and returned it, and the vendor simply reshipped it to a subsequent buyer (me). The ground spike isn't very important in my work, so returning it wasn't worth the hassle, to me.
Meanwhile, I've come to really like the device. The leg joints and upper controls work quite well. It's a pro-class monopod at a comparatively low price--certainly ample for my work. As you can see from my other reviews, I prefer the lightest/smallest mono possible for most situations (I often head out for a shoot in OTG mode). This model is heftier and lengthier to tote, but it provides more control and stability. Interesting trade-off in benefits.
