This is the real deal. Having owned several monopods and hiked a good many miles in all kinds of terrain and weather, I finally found a very light weight, yet heavy duty unit. It's rugged design actually works in the field, under real life conditions that you actually encounter, while out looking for that "money shot". There's attention to detail with a nice case, feet that are big enough to actually be useful and a reversible mount bolt for either 1/4" or 3/8" attachments. It is very fairly priced, making it a terrific value. Yes, you could pay less, and I have, but you'll be very sorry in the field. You can also pay a lot more, and I've done that too, and not get nearly the quality and versatility that this unit offers. A DEFINITE best buy for a monopod.

I have this one and the Manfrotto both with video heads. This unit is far superior in every way. Stands alone with confidence.

This doesn't fully replace a tripod, but .... that is the whole point. It fits those in-between scenarios and is much easier to travel from the trunk of the car up the trail. This is a well made camera accessory that is light-weight and will get the photo in many non-handheld situations. The 3 feet on this monopod make a difference - they are solid, fold-up or removable, and are made to place a foot on them for added stability. A shortcoming would be that "as is" (with the camera directly mounted) it easily takes landscape mode, but going quickly to portrait mode requires a flip-head mount to realign the camera.

For ultimate stability, nothing but a tripod will do. However, there are times when the use of a tripod is not practical or allowed.
A monopod offers excellent stability when working with long telephoto lenses and makes a difference in low-light situations. Monopods are easy to carry, can be set up instantly and are ideal when you are working in tight spaces.
You've seen sports photographers on the sidelines with huge telephoto lenses - they are given small spaces to shoot from and often need to quickly move from place to place. Only a monopod will do the job! And SIRUI offers a full family of monopods for any shooting situation.
