Comments about Velbon Velbon RUP-43 Compact 4-Section Aluminum Monopod with Ball & Socket Head, Black:
Overall, this is a great monopod. Although I'm only 6'0'tall, it's tall enough for me to angle it out in front a bit for added stability (and a lot of monopods aren't long enough for some reason). The quick release leg sections work well and the small ball-head is fine. I suppose if I used this for more than occasional shots I would invest in a separate (and much more expensive) ball head, but for me and my level of use, this one is great. I like the fact the ball head locks in ~1/4 turn of the lever. Overall, the construction is exactly what I expected and needed, and I am very pleased.
