This is the third one of these monopods I have bought. The first one I got five or six years ago to use as a monopod for my Nikon 1 V1. After a year or so I tried it as a walking stick and have been using it as such daily ever since (occasionally as a monopod). It has advantages over a cane - easily adjusted length, and the ability to collapse to a short length, which is nice on occasions such as eating out. The second one, I bought as a spare to leave in my car and the third I bought for my wife after she borrowed mine. As a monopod, it works very well; the leg clamps are still tight after several years of daily use, it is light enough to carry whenever the camera is used, and it will support a weight somewhat greater than its rated capacity. I would recommend it to anyone for either purpose.

The Manfrotto Compact Aluminum Pink/Anthracite Monopod is extremely portable and lightweight, perfect for shooting great pictures and movies in any circumstance with minimum effort. The ergonomic grip, made of a new softer material and the wrist-strap ensure a safe hold and minimum risk of dropping the camera. It has been designed to fit the aesthetic and performance of any Compact System Camera. The universal camera attachment is safely covered by the protective cap when not in use so that the metal is not exposed when in your bag.
The Compact Monopod is ideal for Compact System Cameras but thanks to the universal 1/4" screw thread it can be used with a huge variety of digital devices up to 1.5kg/3.3lbs such as the iPhone (with KLYP+), all types of Compact Cameras, CSC's and Bridges. If using an entry level DSLRs with the Compact Monopod it is recommended using only standard kit lenses to maintain the same level of performance that you will experience with lighter cameras. To preserve and protect its finishing and original color it is recommended to clean it with a standard white pencil eraser.
