5.0 out of 5 stars Great, December 25, 2008

By	soccerchick (Southern California) - See all my reviews

First off, Amazon rocks for getting this sent to me by Christmas Eve, despite the current 3-6 week wait. My friend was thrilled I got this in time.

This monopod is great. It's not super expensive and it gets the job done. I really didn't want an expensive one because I knew I wouldn't use it tons (though given how much I'm pleased with this, I might now). The extension to almost 6 feet is great for whenever you need to see above crowds, or anywhere you need to raise the camera/camcorder high enough to get that shot.

The picture doesn't show it, but there are three clips at the bottom where it telescopes. You have to release all three to adjust the height, which makes it even better to adjust to just the right height because you can just snap certain clips into place once you've found the position on that part of the base.

Overall, for the price, this monopod is pretty nice. Metal tip on the base, foam grip at the top with a lanyard to keep it attached to your wrist in case you lose grip and it falls. This is definitely going to help me with my photography, especially in areas where I need to crouch down or have a difficult angle where I need something to hold it steady. It's great for when I use digital zoom, which is more sensitive to slight movement.

Absolutely would recommend for those on a budget.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bargain at this price, July 9, 2009

This monopod is a bargain at this price. You don't get carbon fiber or a quick-release swivel head, but you can't expect it at this price. What you get is a solid performer for the money. I got very lucky and picked this up for $4.99, on sale at a national electronics retailer - an absolute steal. I don't care if it gets banged-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars IT WORKS FOR ME!, July 4, 2009

By	Trapmar "Trapmar" (Windsor, CT) - See all my reviews

I've only had one opportunity to take it with me out in the field.

I used it to steady my DSLR w/300mm lens while capturing images of birds, mostly. Greatly improved the clarity of most of my shots. Still learning and this item is a big help.

Next toy...tripod.
