62-Inch Camera Monopod, Heavy Duty Pole & Camera Stand

Initially, I was very happy with this monopod. It was simple, light, inexpensive, and fit my needs. It handled a 6lb telephoto + camera setup. Unfortunately, the slightest bit of torque twisted the screw stud from its seat, which rendered it temporarily useless. Rather than return it and buy something else, I spent $1.30 on a 1.5" 1/4 #20 (course) hex hed bolt, a lock nut, and a couple of washers, drilled out the screw seat to 1/2", and the center to 1/4". All together, it assembled into a proper post. The pole is still pretty flexible, and the clamps could be more secure, but now I don't have to wory about my $$$ camera gear tumbling to the ground because of a weak mount point. The seller reached out to me regarding my experience. They addressed my concerns and took my modification suggestions seriously. Overall, this was a 5* situation that suffered a temporary setback in the middle, but ended up better in the end.

I combined a phone camera holder, the ball head mount, and a camera monopod together to create a platform to steady photos taken on a group of South African safaris I just completed. Most, but not all, photos were taken while sitting in a vehicle so this setup would provide the stability to produce a sharp image. They all worked spectacularly. The cameral holder did it's job. The ball head mount is easily adjustable so that it can compensate for slight angle changes (and even fold at a right angle to take some selfies, which I hate). The monopod provided the flexibility to set a height so that the whole assembly would be on a stable platform, usually the seat or floorboard of the vehicle. Other times it would expand to full height. With care it replaces a tripod with quick extension and contraction, stable height, and a light package easy to carry.

Great monopod, great build quality, and it’s overall a great monopod to use that can handle big cameras, the reason why i’m giving this 4 stars is because the first monopod that shipped to me was damaged, the top of the monopod where you attached the camera came off, i returned that one then bought another one and i didn’t have the same issue, it’s a good monopod overall. other than the first one i got that was damaged, 5 Stars!

I purchased this monopod primarily for use with several compact cameras I use as "walking around" cameras for several reasons. This monopod is of carbon fiber construction with a length of about 17 inches collapsed and 62 inches fully extended. There is a wrist strap which could be a little more robust, but it is useable. There is also a padded grip at the head end of the monopod which works well for a firm grip. My primary concern for my compact cameras was steady firm handling of the camera which this monopod provides. It does not employ a quick-release plate, but rather two different sizes of screw to mount the camera. The smaller is permanently affixed while the larger screws down over the smaller. For this reason I will probably not use it for full size cameras which I usually place on a tripod, but for a whole range of compact and smaller format cameras, this monopod works great. There is also a nylon carry bag for the monopod which allows stowing it on a backpack or belt.

Love this monopod. Easy to carry around while videoing and taking pictures of high school marching band.

It’s great until it isn’t. I bought this for photography on a cruise. It was great! Portable, lightweight, easy to use! Then I pulled the smallest section out by accident. I got it to go back in, but it wouldn’t lock. Well I don’t really need 60+ inches of height, so I go on. Tonight the 3rd & 4th sections just fell out. I spent hours trying to repair it and scouring YouTube for help. I was unsuccessful. I’m not giving up just yet, but I anticipate replacing it soon. Handle with care. Honestly if I would buy this again if the flip locks allowed repairs.

Easily carrying in a backpack and store. Length is great to line align with a second measuring device.

So disappointed. I needed to replace my old monopod because after a few years of regular use, it started to slowly collapse when I used it. This one started to collapse on the first use. Also, when fully extended, it feels very flimsy. I had an Amazon Essentials monopod previously, and would recommend that over this.

Very easy to use Fits my camera and came with an adapter which i didn’t need Very compact and comes with a bag for storage I’m just under 5 feet tall so has one more length piece that I can use so if you are taller than 5ft I would recommend getting a bigger size Great quality…..highly recommend

Like it. Used for photography

Much more flexible to use than a tripod.
