4.0 out of 5 stars A GREAT Starter Monopod, October 29, 2009
By R. Peery (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Davis & Sanford Vista Trailblazer Monopod (Electronics)
I confess that I was a tad wary of a $20 monopod, but I've been pleasantly pleased with this item.

It's nice and simple visually: matte black, with a nice looking black foam handle.

It extends very well (I'm 6'4" and in it's full extension it's above my eye level). There are three knobs to unlock/lock. The fit and finish is not at all "high end" - it feels a little cheap - but it does not feel as if it's going to break any minute. I'm sure that if one is rough with this item, it may bend or become damaged. But if you're mellow/normal and treat it with care, it feels as if it will be fine.

The foot spike is handy - there's a threaded ring which enables one to retract the pointed spike for interior use. Nice and simple - it does the job.

Attaching a camera (I'm using digital SLRs) is quick and easy, and the relatively heavy cameras with long lenses (Nikon D50 & Nikon D80) feel well locked and secure.

This monopod is very light weight, which is a plus for portability, although a heavier monopod will reduce shake and vibration more effectively, and add durability as well.

For $20, this monopod is a no-brainer; you can't go wrong - you get more than what you pay for. Yes, the craftsmanhip is just "descent" and nothing special, but it's certainly not junk either.

It comes with a very handy black zippered bag - which I did not expect and is a very helpful. Thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even Better Than Expected, July 9, 2009
This review is from: Davis & Sanford Vista Trailblazer Monopod (Electronics)
Light enough for hiking and tall enough for my 6'5" friend that loves to borrow my equipment. Built solid, and for the price, a must have for any serious outdoor photographer. Great footing for indoor and outdoor photos. Bought this together with the Davis & Sanford Voyager3H tripod. What a great match! Perfect for my Canon 50D DSLR.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the trick, August 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Davis & Sanford Vista Trailblazer Monopod (Electronics)
Lightweight and easy to use. Foot has a point for outside but the point can be retracted to save the inside floors.
