Summary: Monopod
Comment: If you've got a really long telephoto lens this is essential.
Good as a walking stick (defensive protection device) when walking the dog too.

Summary: Great Product - Great Price - Great Value
Comment: I have several tripods of varying functionality. But I needed a small, lightweight, extendable unit that would help stop camera shake and allow me to get off some quick shots. After looking around I was ready to buy a somewhat expensive carbon fiber monopod that would also suffice as a walking stick. Then this item showed up in my search. What a bargain! Shipped quick and is everything it says it is. I'm 5'9" and this works for more than my height (or lack thereof). Simple, easy to operate, quick to open/close, sturdy (although if you want a real walking stick go find one in the woods). But I'm comfortable leaving my new digital camera on this and walking around. Foot is secure and the camera screws into the top stud with ease. OK, so it doesn't have a tilt/swivel head. So I'd use my other tripod for that. But this thing is a great unit for the price. I'd pay double for it if I had to! Too bad you can't find this in local stores but I shop on Amazon 90% of the time anyway and get better service and price. Look no further. Buy this unit and don't be disappointed!

Summary: Terrific for stargazing with binoculars
Comment: Anybody who's tried stargazing through binoculars knows it can be awfully hard to hold the binoculars steady enough to see anything. Your first thought might be: "I need a tripod." But the fixed position of the tripod forces you to squat under the binoculars and crane your neck upwards, and that can get real painful, real fast. This monopod fixes the problem because you can use it LYING DOWN. I mounted my Celestron 12x60 SkyMaster Binoculars to this monopod, pulled the monopod against my body, leaned back in a reclining lawn chair, and all my problems were solved. The monopod holds the binoculars steady, and I don't have to worry about arm or neck fatigue. I currently have the monopod hanging from a nail in its storage bag, ready to go out the door whenever I need it. My binoculars came with a tripod adapter which screws directly into the top of the monopod. If you don't have a tripod adapter, you ought to get one (they sell them here on Amazon), but I've heard of other monopod users screwing a flat wooden board into the monopod and resting the binoculars on the board. The Amazon Marketplace seller, 47th Street Photo, had the monopod shipped to me UPS within 7 days, and I couldn't be happier.

Comment: Long enough for a good size man. Strong enough for a heavy lens/camera. Good value for price.

Comment: Very nice piece of equipment. I can't wait to use it for my son's hockey and football. Seems sturdy enough and quickly adjusts to different heights.
