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.

Better than I expected, this monopod is exactly what I needed! Thanks

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

I recently purchased the monopod to use during my sons swim meets. The device is great to use in areas where spaces are tight and you are trying to take quality photographs. Ronald H.

Looks good,. Feel sturdy. Serve the purpose. Recently I noticed it moves down with the weight of camera and lens even when its locked. Good for light setup.

Wife loves it. This make it much easier for wildlife photography to support her long lens.

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.

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

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.

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!!

Good quality materials. Feels very stable and sturdy. With a proper head, I could see this as an inexpensive hybrid photo and video monopod.

Perfect for travel. Fits in my suitcase. Used with a Blackmagic 6K pro.

Lightweight monopod, easily adjustable, very sturdily made. Particularly like the three little legs that come down to give additional stability, and ability to lock the ball at the bottom, or release it enabling 360 degree turns.

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!

A very practical mono pod. The feet are very helpful, you can use with or without the feet. A great unit, Buy it for times when a Tripod won't work.
