Sturdy, lightweight monopod/walking stick,

This review is from: Brunton Three-section Monopod for Binoculars and Transits (Sports)
I bought the Brunton monopod for use as a walking stick for hiking, and a little added stability for my ultra zoom digital camera. It's very light at 9.5 ounces (approx a half a pound), but still works as a very sturdy walking stick. It collapses to a portable 25.5 inches, and extends to 62.5 inches. Most of the other double duty (monopod and walking stick) poles were about the same length collapsed, but a good 10 inches shorter than the Brunton fully extended which could be a problem for a tall photographer. It has a nice foam rubber handle, and a rubber tip to provide ample traction. No carbide tip, but that wasn't a huge concern for me. With the lower portion partially or fully collapsed and the upper portion fully extended there's little to no flex when applying significant weight (leaning 200+ lbs onto the pole). With the lower leg fully extended the pole flexes some when applying significant weight, but not enough to be a problem in my experience. The weight of a camera would never make this flex, so no worries in that department. Overall I'm very satisfied, and the price on Amazon can't be beat.

This review is from: Brunton Three-section Monopod for Binoculars and Transits (Sports)
i bought one and used it for couple of times for a light monopod w/a camcorder to record a school performance.
as a monopod, 1.it is too long when folded, it is over 27", not easy to carry. 2. the top twist does not turn, have to twist the 2nd twit to adjust the hight, not good or easy to do. 3. the small washer on top gets loose too often when taking camera off the pod. I am returning it to buy a Slick CF one w/about $90, but all problems will be gone for long. It seems a good walking stick evne if i have not hiked with it yet, but not a monopod for me.

Pretty nice, lightweight 'pod,

This review is from: Brunton Three-section Monopod for Binoculars and Transits (Sports)
I actually own an older, heavier, stronger monopod. But for my purpose in traveling, and having a 'pod that would serve as a walking stick as well as a monopod, this seemed a pretty good choice. I have been very happy with this item. Of course, it serves well for a monopod for lighter weight cameras or camcorders (point-and-shoot=yes; camcorder=yes; DSLR with big telephoto lens=no). What was a surprise was it's utility as a walking stick. As long as it's not extended too far, it is really quite strong...and I'm a big guy. This is definitely worth the price.
