62-Inch Camera Monopod - Heavy Duty Stand for Canon, Nikon, & Sony Mirrorless & DSLR Cameras - Steady Photography, Lightweight & Portable - Easy to Carry with Pouch

Great piece of kit, highly recommended.

I combined a phone camera holder, the ball head mount, and a camera monopod together to create a platform to steady photos taken on a group of South African safaris I just completed. Most, but not all, photos were taken while sitting in a vehicle so this setup would provide the stability to produce a sharp image. They all worked spectacularly. The cameral holder did it's job. The ball head mount is easily adjustable so that it can compensate for slight angle changes (and even fold at a right angle to take some selfies, which I hate). The monopod provided the flexibility to set a height so that the whole assembly would be on a stable platform, usually the seat or floorboard of the vehicle. Other times it would expand to full height. With care it replaces a tripod with quick extension and contraction, stable height, and a light package easy to carry.

I love walking about the bayou & our green belt for photo work. Longer lenses, especially heavier ones, benefit from some additional stability. The idea of the monopod is to afford just that little extra stability. Pluses: lightweight, easily adjusted, quick to setup, nice construction Negatives: not as rigid as desired, tends to slip, no ball head I'm keeping it and learning to use it within the design limits. A good ball head is required, so I added one. The tripod will slip some due to the friction locks not being strong enough. This shows up with heavier lenses. Overall a good value.

Initially, I was very happy with this monopod. It was simple, light, inexpensive, and fit my needs. It handled a 6lb telephoto + camera setup. Unfortunately, the slightest bit of torque twisted the screw stud from its seat, which rendered it temporarily useless. Rather than return it and buy something else, I spent $1.30 on a 1.5" 1/4 #20 (course) hex hed bolt, a lock nut, and a couple of washers, drilled out the screw seat to 1/2", and the center to 1/4". All together, it assembled into a proper post. The pole is still pretty flexible, and the clamps could be more secure, but now I don't have to wory about my $$$ camera gear tumbling to the ground because of a weak mount point. The seller reached out to me regarding my experience. They addressed my concerns and took my modification suggestions seriously. Overall, this was a 5* situation that suffered a temporary setback in the middle, but ended up better in the end.

Sturdy & good height, but the post won’t stay locked and slides down when bearing the weight of the camera so it kind of gets frustrating when you 5’11” and you have to bend down to use it.

Used it at a college football game this past fall. Worked great. Wish I had had it sooner.

Excellent product at a reasonable price.

I bought this monopod 6 months ago. At first the leg extensions were extremely stiff and would take strength to extend or collapse. After a months use, one extension would no longer lock and would collapse after the lock was engaged. Several more would no longer work after lock was clamped through out the months, now all 4 collapse. The threaded screw became an issue during the time I used it. We're still trying to figure out what happened but it appears it's sucken down into the frame around it and no longer is long enough to thread into my camera mount. This occurred during an important event that I can't recreate and clients are extremely upset as I couldn't continue. I've had multiple monopods in the past, lasting several years never having these issues. It feel cheap compared to my others and had issues you must work around throughout its short life. Do not recommend

Like it. Used for photography

Much more flexible to use than a tripod.

Very easy to use Fits my camera and came with an adapter which i didn’t need Very compact and comes with a bag for storage I’m just under 5 feet tall so has one more length piece that I can use so if you are taller than 5ft I would recommend getting a bigger size Great quality…..highly recommend
