4 Stars Great for the price
I bought this a few months ago and have been happy with it. The quality of construction seems good and it is easy to adjust length quickly. It easily handles my Canon Rebel XSI even with a 70-200 f/2.8 lens which is quite heavy. I have not tried more expensive monopods and this one seems adequate for my needs. I plan to use it during school functions with the kids and for extra stability for non-IS lenses.
5 Stars Good Monopod
Bought this monopod nearly a year now and love it!! Have not used it much, but it works well when i need it.
I am 5’10″ tall and when i have my nikon d40 mounted at full extension i have to tip on my toes to see through the eyepiece. Therefore, it should work well for persons in excess of 6′ tall with larger cameras.
The head feels solid but i cant say how it would perform with much heavier cameras. Treat it well and it will return the favour.
4 Stars Well built and sturdy
I bought this to replace my tripod. I didn’t realized it can’t replace a tripod, but like it just the same. It is made well and is very sturdy. Once I get the hang of this item I am sure I will use it more and more.
4 Stars Very good monopod
I was surprised by the quality and material this product is made of for this price tag!
It is very well built and truly deserves the Canon logo on it.
However, I am a night phtography fan, and to be honest I have discovered this hobby for only two years till now so you can’t say I’m a pro, I bought this monopod to test and see if it will help me get rid of my heavy tripod. Here are my results:
1- Portability: monopod 10/10 – tripod 3/10
2- Weight: mono: very light – tri: well it depends on which brand and price tag you got, but for sure this monopod is a lot lighter than any tripod out there.
3- Steadiness for long exposure shooting: mono: 8/10 if you are sticking the monopod between guard rails or leaning on a wall for example but 2/10 if you are trying to hold it vertically still especially if it is extended to your height which is most of the cases, so you still need to make it lean on something to get very good still photo if your exposure is 2 seconds or more, for less than 2 seconds exposures, I am far better off without the monopod by kneeling on the ground and resting one elbow on the other knee and the other elbow on my chest while using an Image Stabalizer than using a monopod – tripod: 10/10
4- Size when retracted: mono 9/10 (nice copmact and easy to store anywhere, heck it fits in the magazines pocket at the back of the drivers seat in your car) – Tripod: 6/10
5 Stars Better Than Expected
Lightweight, sturdy, and easy adjustment. This is exactly what I was looking for to take to the National Parks where a tripod would be a burden.
