Quality from the top, down!

Absolutely love this monopod. It is quality from the top down. I use it with my 600mm f/4 along with my gimbal and it makes lugging this beast of a lens a breeze.

A Really Great Monopod With Good Height

The carbon fiber material makes this monopod very light and easy to handle. The height is more than sufficient to capture any shot. And it feels just right. I use it with a Manfrotto head along with my 600MM F4 lens. A perfect match. Thank you Gitzo. Thank you Adorama.
