"Went to Hawaii on a honeymoon cruise for 15 days. Used the TrekPod Go with my Pentax W10. Got all kinds of photos of the two of us. Set my Nikon SB900 on the TrekPod as hairlight and shoot with my SB800 fired by the built in flash of my D300 in command mode. Great results. If the whole thing wi …"  Read Full Review »

"Most of my photography involves hiking. I use a hiking staff, and rarely took a tripod along. With the TrekPod Go, I have one lightweight pole that does it all! I've used it on 3 hikes. With a DSLR on it, it is a bit top heavy if it's windy or on an incline. I expected that because of the shorter, …"  Read Full Review »

"This works well with smaller cameras, but a big dslr isn't ideal for this. I have a d200 and with the normal magnet, it barely holds the camera, (lens is the 18-200), I have the "big" magnet on my 80-400 lens and I have to use the tripod collar on the lens and if I don't lock it, it will fall off.. …"  Read Full Review »

"This is a great mono/tri pod. Very light and people think you have a great walking stick. Now that I have started using it I get much steadier shots, just was out on a very windy day and found it rock solid.



I was skeptical about the magnets holding a heavy SLR but they do with no problems whats …"  Read Full Review »

"Very nice Monopod and it packs well. Nowhere near as bulky as most. Easy to assemble. We took it to Mexico and it packed easily in our carry-on luggage. Using a Canon 20D with the 24-105 IS lens - the magnet alone is not strong enough - you must use the safety clip also! The magnet alone would …"  Read Full Review »
