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 whatsoever.

The only low point is that assembling the pod is a bit tedious.

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, lower tripod legs. Just keep a hand on the pole. It's a small inconvenience in exchange for the versatility. To better protect the tripod legs while hiking, I bought some rubber table leg caps at a hardware store. A cap slips snuggly over the 3 folded legs, and offers better grip on most surfaces while hiking.
