"This is an excellent product. Once the quick release plate is fitted to the camera, it's a snap to mount and unmount the camera from the monopod. The monopod is light enough to shlep around, but sturdy enough to balance a medium to heavy camera. The only inconvenient point here is that it would be n …"  Read Full Review »
