I’ve read some reviews of other 6-section monopods that they can be unstable if all the sections are fully extended.Robert N : I am 6’3’ and sed it for auto races with a 5d mk vi with grip and 400 mm do f/4. No issues. Very happy. I added a rrs head.PAUL K : Hi, not unstable at all, but the foot quickly came off with my 1DX Mark II amd 200-400mm with 1.4x lens. I I ordered a rubber peg foot to replace the articulating one and it’s been fine.Michael S : Very stiff, even when fully extended. I've shot with a Nikon D5 or D850 w/battery pack and with the Nikon 200--500 zoom or Nikon 600 f/4with great results. Its a lightweight beast.

Solid and Light.

It's a solid constructed monopod with light materials. Only downside is price.

Excellet Quality Item

Best monopod available. A bit more expensive than most but well worth the cost to get a lightweight yet rock solid item that is built like a tank.

Great tripod

My old Manfrotto monopod started slipping and on the heavy side and I needed something better and lighter. It was a great monopod for my use over the years, but I needed something to replace it. I looked at several monopods in the local area and liked the Gitzo series of tripods and monopod. This monopod was a little on the expensive side but had a good, solid feel to it and was very lightweight. I especially like the locking twist legs. When compared to local stores, Adorama was much cheaper and free shipping , I could not resist the purchase.

Simply perfect!

Lightweight, compact, and extremely sturdy. Locking collars work to perfection. Ideal for any application but especially good for travel. I was wondering if I would like the foot given that I shoot a lot of wildlife on uneven surfaces but its proved to be a real asset in the field. Can't think of a single negative thing to say.

Great for Travel

I purchased this with the intent of using it both locally and abroad with a 300mm f/2.8 lens. It is Gitzo quality, and all the parts are sturdy. The foot at the bottom, allows panning, which has been a surprising benefit. The small size and minimal weight, make it a no brainer to bring everywhere. Deploys quickly, and stows just as fast.

Gitzo GM4562 Series-4 Carbon eXact 6-Section Monopod

By HARJANTO S.

Great built. Light weight and with many sections, it's compact.

It is with great precision and attention to detail that the GM4562 Series 4 6-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod has been crafted, catering specifically to the needs of sports photographers who demand a robust yet portable support for their long lenses. This monopod stands as the successor to the renowned Series 5 GM5561T, offering a streamlined design with a slimmer top tube measuring 37.0mm in diameter, which not only facilitates a more comfortable grip but also contributes to a lighter frame without compromising on strength.

Constructed with Carbon eXact tubes, the GM4562 ensures unparalleled rigidity, essential for capturing sharp, high-quality images. The large G-lock Ultra leg locks enhance this stability, allowing for quick and secure adjustments to the monopod's height, which can reach up to 60 inches, while maintaining a compact folded length of just 17 inches for effortless transportation.

The 50mm big foot at the base of the monopod is a standout feature, providing a solid foundation on diverse terrains and ensuring maximum stability. This is further complemented by an integrated ball that allows for smooth panning and tracking of moving subjects, a critical aspect for dynamic sports photography. For those requiring customization, the foot is detachable and can be replaced with optional feet and spikes to suit various shooting conditions.

Additionally, the GM4562 is equipped with a smart carrying solution - a clip on the wrist strap that enables photographers to conveniently hang the monopod on belts or pockets when on the move. This thoughtful design element underscores the monopod's commitment to providing reliable, versatile, and lightweight support for photographers who are constantly on the go, yet refuse to compromise on the quality and stability of their shots.

With a formidable load capacity of 70 lbs, the GM4562 Series 4 6-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod is an indispensable tool for photographers who require a durable, sturdy, and reliable support system that can adapt to the rigorous demands of sports and wildlife photography, as well as a variety of other photographic endeavors.
