I used a carbon monopod to shoot semipro football from the sidelines. I was run over and had to shoot the carbon monopod, it received a broken leg in the collision. It's heaver but I hope it can take a lick and keep on ticking.... So far haven't been run over so far.

I use mine with a Manfrotto quick release. Heavy enough to act like a stabilizer when moving about. Great for getting overhead shots.

This monopod is very useful when shooting wildlife or sports events, where a quick setup, adjustment, and fast relocation is necessary. It works great with heavy telephoto lenses, like a Nikon 28-300mm. It maybe a little heavy, but it is built well and the leg clamps are strong. I like to use it in conjunction with Manfrotto tripods withs a different head with quick releases.

Got this monopod to replace earlier version which unfortunately got damaged after almost 15 years of great service. While I am pretty good when shooting at slower speeds, having a support such as this monopod is a definite plus, even with vibration-reduction lenses. When working with longer focal lengths, it is a MUST. I'm happy to say that the new version of this monopod is as well built as the original and has some great additions (especially the rubber grip, extra large mounting base and improved locking clamps.) Will be using this with my D300 and D600, especially when using my Tamron 200-500mm tele and my Nikkor 70-300mm VR zoom lenses. What I love about it is that while it is extremely strong, it is light weight and compact. This a great piece of equipment to have when you need some extra support and don't have the time to set up a tripod. I have quick releases for the cameras and lenses so I can be ready to go very quickly. It also doubles as a neat walking stick when hiking. All in all, a "must have" for any serious photographer.

Excellent product. Well constructed. Great value for the price. Holds Sigma 150-500mm lens.

I find it ideal in situations where a tripod is too conspicuous or bulky--videotaping child's piano recital or school production. Great on the sidelines with a telephoto.

Being my first real monopod. This one seems to be put together well. Finish is nice and it wont break the bank.

Good value for the money. Very sturdy so far. Holds a 300 2.8, Nikon D300 plus grip with no problem.

The mono pod is great. It is easy to use and locks fast and securely - much better than the twist type locks.

Excellent built, easy to operate. Manfrotto quality throughout. It can be used on its own with the camera, without the head. However, it is on the heavy side.

A very solid and well-built monopod - what you would expect from Manfrotto.

It's great....I lean against something and hold it upright and it's stable

I have leg problems and I can brace myself against something and hold the monopod upright and it is very stable.....and easy to use

Travelling to Washington DC and they hate tripods there. So I opted for this monopod, and it worked perfectly. Even with a 7D and a 80-400mm zoom, it was quite stable and worked well. Easy to maneuver through crowds, and quick to set-up, very unobtrusive. It was win-win for me.

This monopod is very well made. It is ideal for use with long lenses, gives great balance, but you can move it fast. Every serious photographer should have one!

Vert stable. I use when I travel and to events were a tripod is not allowed.

This is a solid, if a bit heavy, monopod. I have used it with my D90 for movies of my grandchildren, with an attached 50mm f1.8 lens. Solid, good results. I would not recommend it for travel - we are minimalists when we travel, carryons only, and this is just too heavy.

I have not got to try it out yet but so far I love the way it looks. I think it will be just what I needed.

Use primarily for kids sports, and works well. Would like to be able to turn camera to vertical, so need to add an attachment to do that. Works great, especially for the price point.

My passion is outdoor photography and, unless toting a full-sized tripod, my monopod comes with me. In fact I generally leave it in my car "just in case." I have exposed this monopod to some very inclement weather and rough use and all that I generally do is wipe it down with a cloth silicone wipe after such exposure. Great product to have...also makes a good walking stick when not being used for intended purpose.

This was my alternative to a heavy tripod carrying a heavy lens when out there in the wild. It works great and in case of need, it can double as a stick to keep wildlife from attacking you, e.g., coyotes, wild cats, mountain lions, etc.

Still too long to carry around Better can be folded further

it's for a casual use where tripod is too heavy and may not be allowed; it's fairly lightweight and sturdy.

SUNYO S.

Not much to say. It is a great monopod for the money, and does its job very well. Clamps are strong, I often find myself propping my weight on it for support and it has no problems holding me. It's relatively compact and light, and the overall construction seems great. Finish is maybe a little delicate to scratches, but nothing major. Very good product from a very good company.
