It is exactly what I was looking for in a monapod.  Because of its sturdiness, it works really well with my telephoto lens,

Great monapod

This monopod is solid, well built, extends the sections smoothly, and locks them tightly. The fit and finish are excellent. Because it is a solid piece of gear, it is a bit heavier than it looks, but anyone should be able to deal with the 2.5 pounds or so.

Solid and well built but a bit heavy

Excellent product for an amazingly low price.  Has features not found on some more expensive monopods. Have not used that much yet but expect to do so soon.

Excellent product for an amazingly low price

Nice sturdy mono pod. As a six footer, it is tall enough that I don't have to stoop to see through the viewfinder. The ball head is sturdy enough to easily hold a fully extended telephoto zoom. Best of all is that it is reasonably priced.

Great MonoPod

Solid monopod. Serving its purpose thus far!!!

????

Sturdy, easy to assemble a camera/lens to it.
Easy to carry and good camera/lens orientation options...for a very convenient price.

Once again the price was very good and the material good also very strong and fits all my lens and withstand occasional bangs.

Excellent

Great for takeing low light shots with slow shutter speeds and low iso

Steady Now

I got this on sale, and love it.  It is very solidly built.  I love that it is tall and I don't have to stoop over.  It is not carbon fiber, so it is heavier, but I'm very happy with the purchase.

Solid and Economical

This thing is a beast! well built and very sturdy. Use it for video and as a boom for lights and my camera.

Best monopod i have ever used

T he pivoting head and extra long height of 69" are the winner.

I'm a total newby when it comes to DSLR's. I wanted something to help steady these aging hands. It seems strong, well made, and works as intended. I'm quite happy with the product.

Basic monopod...great for me.

I like this monopod.  Even better than the Slik I have.  Adoramas' products are the best

Nice features

Quite acceptable

Bought this monopod for use while hiking with my DSLR.  Thought I might be able to use it as a walking staff as well (a little heavy for that but usable).

The shaft is solid and hefty with three solid twist lock fittings. The fittings are easily gripped for locking and unlocking.  The shoulder strap has a quick release buckle and the length is adjustable. It cannot be removed.  There is a stiff, thin shoulder "pad".  Not really a pad, since there is no padding on it.  The pad can be easily removed.

The ball head is basic, but solid.  The quick release plate has a cork pad.  It is secured by a spring loaded quick release pin (pull to release) and a knurled screw (one turn to release).  The screw is needed to make a solid fit and could easily be lost if unscrewed too far.  With this screw tightened, the plate fits tightly on the head.

There is an adaptor screw on the quick release plate that must be removed for use with standard camera mounts.

Pros:
Really solid.  Good construction for the price.
Good twist lock height adjustment.
Good maximum height.

Cons:
Quick release plate isn't really quick.
Plate securing screw could be lost.
A bit heavy.
Unpadded shoulder pad.
Strap can't be removed.

Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase.
