5.0 out of 5 stars Great product, sturdy, easy to use thumb snaps, durable, lightweight.

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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fine for very light duty, $2 and some time can improve
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.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but plastic locks
The item arrived on time, it looks and feels good, very light weight, now the locks are plastic idk if they will last, they also make the item look and feel cheap, i will update on durability
5.0 out of 5 stars Good For Mobile Photography
I am an Iphone photographer so I bought this for mobile picture taking. I haven't used it yet, but it is definitely something I want in my photography kit because I can see it being very useful in different situations (such as a tight corner in real estate photography where a traditional tripod won't fit). It seems very well made and easy to adjust to the desired height. I also purchased a ball head to go with it so my Iphone holder would work (I already had a phone holder so I didn't need to purchase that, but you will if you don't already have one). I'd recommend it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great, sturdy little monopod. Love using it when shooting on the move!
I love this monopod. It's a great one at a great price. I love using it to take pictures at my kid's sporting and music events. It allows me to carry my Canon and move around easily with the camera attached. So much easier than moving a tripod around when you're trying to be quick to get around the field or stage for better shots and angles while helping to take a sturdier picture.
3.0 out of 5 stars Works Okay - Probably Better Ones Out There
The first one I purchased broke because I mistakenly attached it to the camera body instead of the lens, which led to stability issues and it cracked off the joint. The second grip I ordered has it's hand grip slip out of place easily. Given these experiences, I believe there might be higher quality options available on the market.
5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely fantastic.
I used this monopod on a recent trip to Alaska and it was an absolute life saver. Easy to adjust and quick to put away this monopod has everything you want for a great price. 10/10 would buy again.
