Customer Review: Simple, sensational, superb!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a professional photographer -- as well as a passionate amateur -- for 40 years. When I required shoulder surgery this year, I feared that I would be unable to use my cameras without the use of my right arm/hand. (Ever think about this: ALL cameras are meant to be used by, at the very least, one's right hand. I can't think of a single camera model made for left-hand shutter release.) So I calculated that with the use of a monopod, I would be able to perch any of my cameras on the "stick," and click away with the index finger on my left hand.
I have been shooting now in this fashion for five weeks and even though I am getting the use back of my right hand, I so enjoy using the monopod, that I will pack it for summer travels this year. It is highly useful; you can depress the self-timer, give yourself 10 seconds to swing the camera over head on the fully extended stick and get overhead shots of a crowded mall, souk, or medina; you can use the monopod to steady your camera in low-light situations when hand-held without flash might not otherwise be possible.
I read a lot of the reviews on the many monopods offered on amazon, and must say that I am thoroughly pleased with this one, which bears the National Geographic brand. Maybe, for me, this was the reason I opted for this monopod over other selections; there are few items which Nat'l Geo endorses and as their standards are so high, so professional, I took this endorsement as a sign of quality. And so far, after five weeks of near-daily use, I am not displeased in any way.
