I?m shooting a Nikon D6 and AF-I 400 F/2.8 so I need a sturdy monopod, I have tried a few and none come close to feeling as stable as this mono from ProMediaGear. I love it !!!!

By far the worlds greatest monopod! I?ve had what I thought were really nice monopods and tripods over the years. But I always thought they were too thin in diameter and always wished someone made a more beefy monopod. I finally found this. Unfortunately after I already spent $450 on the RRS monopod equivalent. I fortunately was able to sell that and get this. I couldn?t believe it when I got it and started using it. But it?s much better and more stable than even the more expensive RRS monopods! That?s truly impressive! Also I love how tall this is, I can open or deploy the bottom two legs and if I need a little more height, I can quickly and easily just add that with the uppermost leg section. Most monopods are too thin in diameter and too short to be using the bottom two leg sections, as I described above. I use this with the RRS MH-01 with the larger RRS clamp. I highly recommend those two accessories for this monopod. The RRS monopod heads are perfect for this monopod. They slide right into the built in arca Swiss slot at the top. They look good on this and are so useful. Yes I?ve spent about $850 on a monopod setup that I don?t always use, but I?m attaching an $18,000 camera setup to it when I am using it. I have the Nikon D5 and D850 and Nikon 500mm f/4E VR FL. I?ve also used this with the Nikon 400mm f/2.8E VR FL at sporting events, and I always get asked about this monopod. Other photojournalist at events ask me about it or comment on it. Most people have a skinny and dinky looking monopod with a $10K lens and flagship level camera on top. I just laugh and try to forget that I used to be that guy too, lol.
