Product Description
TrekPod Go! is Trek-Tech's premier tripod/monopod/hiking staff multi-tool which incorporates numerous customer-requested enhancements including the ability to pack into its included carry case and fit in an overhead carry-on, It also telescopes 4" shorterin the hiking staff/monopod mode, has "soft touch' rubber locking nuts, captures the palm rest so it won't get lost, and introduces the new MagMount AR/i, while retaining all of the original TrekPod's innovative capabilities. Magmount AR/I is a significant refinement of the industry's first magnetic quick-release camera and optical device mounting system. It provides for the instant attachment of almost any camera, spotting scope or other device that uses the industry standard 1/4"-20 mounting stud. The new Anti-Rotation feature locks your portrait shots in place, and indexing every 30 aids with panorama photos and precise position repeatability.

4 out of 5 stars Good Monopod.....OK tripod.   November 19, 2007

I bought this Trekpod Go in Oct. The monopod is pretty light and very handy as it can be seperated into parts. However, the tripod cannot handle the weight of SLRs eventhough the manufacturers claim to support upto 9lbs.
I have used this but because of the legs being very thin, it shakes for slightest wind. When mounting an SLR its always good to use cable release.
Its a very good investment and is a good spacesaver while travelling.




5 out of 5 stars the best hybrid monopod/tripod   November 27, 2007

I'm an amateur photographer who shoots friend's wedding for ... free. I used to carry both tripod and monopod and I ended up using none. Tripod is too bulky and heavy. The monopod is not flexible enough; I hate to remove/install screw mount every time I switch between portrait and landscape.

Pro:
- Multi-purpose Monopod/Tripod/Hiking staff
- MagMount/AR is cool

Cons:
- a little bit expensive but I think it's worth it.
- tripod mode is not as stable as real tripod but I don't take picture in high wind so I'm OK.

This is the ultimate photgraphers helper! This newest version is great with the capability to pack it in your luggage! The magnetic mount system is perfect! I bought one as a gift and they also love it!


5 out of 5 stars DOES WHAT IT SAYS, AND DOES IT WELL   January 30, 2008

I was extremely pleased when I received my "GO" stick. Very impressed with the quality of the product. Everything works like it's supposed to and does it well. A very versatile piece of equipment that has become a valuable part of my camera "stuff". I was tempted to chop off a half star for the stiffer price, but, in reflection, I think it was worth it. I haven't tested it with a heavier DSLR, but it works well with my lighter camera. I was not expecting the Tripod feature to be heavy duty, but it is sturdy enough to be useful. Would like to see a 1/4-20 stud on the lower tripod section so I could mount my camera as a mini tripod; but can't have everything. OEM people at Trek Tech very responsive and helpful with my questions.
Now I have to learn how to use a "hiking stick".

It holds your camera with a good grip, and it is easy to walk with. Easy to arm, but don't be too confident as it is not too strong to support yourself. The locks on the telescoping mechanism are not strong enough to support weight)


We'll be adding even more exciting features to assist you in the coming year.
