Monopods for Cameras Manbily Camera Monopod 61inches Walking Stick with Handle Portable Compact Travel Monopod Aluminum Alloy Selfie Stick 6 Sections 15.4lbs for DSLR Video Camcorder Stand (GREEN)

Good quality well made good as walking stick

I do not write many reviews but really delighted with this 3 in 1 monopod/walking stick or hiking pole. Takes 2 different sizes of camera mounts and switching between the functions easily done. At a £19 price point, excellent value. Very well done!

The build quality is acceptable, but it is lightweight and suitable for mobile use; however, it lacks stability as it tends to move around when used with a heavy device. The height is decent, and it comes with good accessories.

I bought this for support for a very heavy camera lens when out looking at random bits of wildlife. As a monopod it seems great, sturdy, can stretch very high, can be screwed directly into camera base or, as I have, take a tripod head for quick attaching and swapping of devices.As a stick its ok for general use but I wouldn't risk putting all my weight on the handle if I were descending a very steep hill for example. It may be fine in this situation but I'd be risking a fall by trusting my weight to a single screw.All in all 4.5/5 great item.

Great for outdoors use in different circumstances. If you love the outdoor, walks. hikes go for it. Ì think it is a good purchase. Cannot fault it. Strength of it allows for many uses, but keep in mind the longer you extend it, the less Strength it has. But overall, it. will do.

`Very strong construction and does the job.

I've yet to take this monopod into the field to test it out, but from first impressions this is a sturdy piece of kit.Even whem fully extended to its full 61"/155cm it is sturdy. I found that the lowest extention tube (which is 13mm in diameter) didn't flex or bend much if at all.The quality of design, engineering and finish is very good.If there are any cons these would be regarding the metal screw-in foot. It's a 3/8 thread - which is a good size - whch you can add a monopod foot for to add stability. However, it is quite loose even when fully tightened. I would imaging it wouldn't take too much for it to work itself loose and drop off un-noticed while you're out and about. So in my case I've placed a small rubber O-Ring on the thread which hopefully will keep it in place. (Another thing you could do it wrap plumbers PTFE tape around the thread).Another con is the rubber hand-grip at the top of the pole. I think it has the potential to 'sweat' over time as it ages as it feels sticky to the touch. I think I will be binding the rubber grip with nylon paracord as I did with my previous monopod.Also, it's not particularly that light in weight. So it might be a problem if you need to carry it around all day in the draw-string bag it comes with. However, the weight will definately help with stability.Having said that it's definately a piece of kit worth buying over the more expensive monopods on the market I definately recommend itUPDATE Nov '23:- I've now taken the monopod out for the day on holiday. I used it with both my Nikon B500 camera (which is not a heavy camera) and my binoculars (again which are not very heavy). It is certainly a very stable pice of kit.I've attached an Arca-Swiss quick release floating tripod head to it.With regards to the rubber hand grip that I had concerns with, I've bound that with 2mm blue nylon cord as I feel that the rubber has the potential to get sticky and perish with age.As for the rubber foot that I had concerns would unscrew itself, I've placed a rubber O-ring washer on the thread to stop it from unscrewing on its own. I also put a small metal washer inside the rubber foot to stop the metal spike from working its way through the rubber foot.I also bought through Amazon a 3/8" three-legged monopod stand which I've yet to test out.Very please with the results.

Great monopod the only thing it's missing are legs
