Questions & Answers

Betty B : Is the base (legs) metal or plastic?
Shawn B : Does the fluid base have a way to lock so it is static allowing the monopod to stand on its own without being held in place?MICHAEL D : Hi Shawn, The Fluid base does not have a locking mechanism. Please email us at brands@adorama.com for more info.MOORTHY R : It can stand on its own only if there isn’t any camera placed on it. But still it isn’t stable enough to hold camera of any kind, but shaky. But the quality of the product as A monopod is very very good and heavy. As a monopod , it serves its duty perfectly. Never leave the camera on out and try to take pictures. Bad idea.
AN N : Can it work with sony A7?DOUGLAS D : Of course. Monopods and tripods are not camera specific.MOORTHY R : Yes it can work with any camera which has a screw type base at the bottom to hold the camera.RONALD R : Yes.JERRY T : Any camera with a 1/4-20 thread mount. It is plenty heavy enough for a light camera like the A7.

Bargain price with excellent quality

I'm very happy with the overall quality of this monopod. It's quite sturdy yet light enough to easily carry along with you. The look of the product is even better in person.

Basically sound, but with one or two irritating flaws.

Overall I really like the construction of this monopod. It has metal legs, metal locks and metal lock levers. If the locks loosen with use, they can be tightened with the included hex wrenches. The three legs fold out easily enough and lock into place for stability. The only thing I don't like about this monopod is that the legs fold down TOO easily; there is no locking mechanism to keep them folded up in case someone doesn't want the legs folded down. So, the legs won't stay up when unpacking up the monopod, moving it around, or packing it back up. Instead the legs tend to flop down and get in the way. This design flaw is complicated by the fact that the lowest lock and its locking lever further impede folding up the legs. A work-around might be a long hook-and-loop strap fastened to the main shaft of the monopod so that it doesn't get lost. These 3POD devices are relatively new and need fine-tuning, but they're pretty sturdy pieces of equipment.

great at any price

i have used this at several sports events over the last month, soccer, football, as well as a few portrait sessions where I wanted to use lower iso so slower shutter speed. It was a good purchase, easy to work with, the head and the feet work well together, dont hesitate to buy if you need a monopod. The last pod I bought before this one was probably 25 years ago, sure this one will last as long.

Great value for the money

A very sturdy monopod for the money. The fact that its also carbon fiber adds to the value and it comes with a good head on it, is another plus. All in all, this is a great value for the money!

A great mono-pod at a great price

This Mono-pod is greet. The lightweight of the carbon fiber, the three footed base makes the unit stable, even on soft surfaces. I use it with a long tele-photo lens and it makes using the camera during a sports game so much easier to handle the weight.I added a two dimension head for an easy to use package. I use it for Fujifilm X-T series camera with a 100-400mm lens.

Good Monopod

Very good MomoPod. I like the ease of use with the legs. Be careful its not a tripod. If you walk away from it with your canera lens still attached you may see your Monopod fall over.

Nice solid monopod at great price

Very solid, great quality monopod with legs. Exactly what I was looking for, at a great price. Recommend tightening the clamps with the included allen wrench. Also, the ball for panning at the base was a little tight at first, but it's good now with a little WD-40. Instructions were also quite interesting.

DEPENDABLE TOOL

This is my 3rd 3Pod Orbit 4-Section Aluminum tripod. My first was 2015 I believe and it shows no wear. It has been to S. Texas on the sand beaches and cleans up nice. It has been to Big Bend and wide open spaces and shooting video there with a heavy cam corder and at one time a 5Ds R. The 5Ds R now has its own 3Pod and a photo head. This new 3Pod I set up with a moment cage on a video head for my iPhone 14 ProMAX. The 3 heads are from 3Pod. I have 3 units and if needed I will get a fourth. It works and keeps working. DEPENDABLE TOOL. David

usable

for the price if youre looking at this during the sales where its $20, bump it up to 5. a great cheap little monopod to travel with if you dont wanna risk pricey gear. wouldnt leave it unmanned under any circumstances, and the pan system is annoying and easily comes unscrewed. for the price though? not half bad.

useful, but heavy and a little bit clunky

There is nothing fundamentally wrong with this monopod but there are enough minor annoyance issues that make me give it a 3 star rating. It is quite heavy for carbon monopod (partly due to the feet and head), and it does not collapse down to a particularly convenient length. When I received it I could not undo the bottom clamp. It comes with an hex key attached to the shaft, so I had to use that to loosen the bottom clamp to be able to undo it, and then the clamp would not fasten tight enough to stop the shaft from sliding down, so I ended up having to tighten the other bolt just above the clamp and then eventually I got just the right balance for that bolt and the clamp bolt. I should not have to do this though. This seems like a quality control issue during assembly. Then I also had issues with the head. For one thing, the bolt has to be really tight to stop the head flopping over with an SLR camera on it, and then I often am unable to get the camera/plate to fully latch into position and have to make several attempts to get it in place. The quick release works great though, in terms of actually releasing the plate and retaining the plate once it is properly latched in place.

Seen some comments from stupid people. This product does not replace a quality Tripod, but it is a help, an aid. Like a cane! Yes, I like it because I do not have to lay something down, it stands so I grab it quickly and something better than hand hold. It does everything it promise and more. Yes, recommend it strongly!!

Light and easy to use!

Compared to the other monopods and tripods I own that are NOT carbon filter...this is as light as a feather. I've often left supports at home because of their weight. I'm sure that won't be the case with this one. It's very easy to use and I'm pleased. One of the best gifts my husband has ever purchased for me!

About 3Pod Orbit MonoPod

FEATURED REVIEWS

Best Monopod of a large collection.

By ROBERT D.

I have a good assortment of monopods and this is my favorite. Since I use a heavy long lens most of the time for wildlife in the Rocky Mountains a monopod is a must to capture wildlife. Other monopods not all that stable, especially when shooting in tall grass or or from a rock. This monopod fits the bill perfectly as it is strong and stable. With the feet configured the way they are it is very easy to get the shot I want and still feel the camera and lens are stable.

Great Monopod and Great Price

By Jeff L.

We were looking for something that would steady a dslr camera for shooting video while using longer focal lenses. No matter how steady you hold the camera by hand or even in a rig, it is jittery. This monopod solved that issue. Very stable and allows for some movement forward, back and side to side that is very smooth. The quality and build of the product was MUCH BETTER than we expected for the price.
