 A great compact monopod July 16, 2008
Well built, light, affordable and compact. Although meant for compact cameras, you can add a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter (around US$3) to be able to use this monopod with your DSLR. I added a Manfrotto mini ball head for even more flexibility, I won't recommend using it with large lenses. Remember it is meant give additional support and not total support. It serves my purpose as a travel monopod. It fits inside my carry on luggage or backpack. I have another more sturdy Manfrotto monopod for non-travel use.
 Recommended July 12, 2008
This monopod is very nice and easy to use. It is great at steadying the camera. The quality of the video is very nice and videos of performances are much better and more enjoyable to watch.
Great alternative to a tripod June 9, 2008
I picked up this monopod for use with an HDV camcorder as an alternative to my somewhat heavy Bogen tripod. It was used for the first time at an auto race where I needed compact portability without sacrificing stability. I found it to be a very useful accessory. Build quality is high and with the segments locked into place it provided a much better alternative to shooting hand-held, plus it kept my arms from tiring. It folded up and fit nicely in a small backpack.
I have not used it yet with an SLR but imagine it would be equally suited for that. Well worth the money!

Received this as Christmas Gift. Works great with my Digital SLR. Helps steady the camera. Have used it on the beach on a very very windy day. great photos. Also serves as a walking stick. Am very leased with the product. Easy to operate and lightweight. Collapses to fit in a suitecase.
 Good Brand Name - Flimsy Monopod January 16, 2008

I purchased this monopod because I have had good experiences with Bogen / Manfrotto tripods and trust their name. I got the monopod in today and there were several flaws with it.
- Fully extended, I felt like I was going to break the thing just putting the camera on and a little downward pressure to steady it. It needs to be thicker overall, I think.
- The rubber cap covering the screw is nice but it was really hard to lift it off. I had to use the screwdriver blade of my Swiss Army knife. The camera did screw on with no problem.
- Then, finally, the strap buckle wouldn't keep the strap in a loop, but kept coming undone.
I shouldn't have expected such a low-priced product to perform well. I was just really dissappointed. I'll have to save up my money and get a higher quality monopod later.
