Otherwise, the build quality is very good and the quick unlock to set it up is a real plus. It's plenty high when extended..." Read Full Review »

good but not great

"I was hoping the quick release would be a Arca-Swiss type mount but sadly no. the head is proprietary as well so there's no changing it; the shaft is square. For the price its fine but it could have been great with a bit more effort...." Read Full Review »

"I like this monopod. I have already tried it with both Canon GL2 and Nikon D80. As for disadvantages, there are couple, although not critical. I bought a tripod - same brand - and I was hoping that the quick release platform will match what I have. It doesn't, because the monopod has a smaller versi …"  Read Full Review »
