Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Opteka MP100 67" Professional Heavy Duty Photo / Video Monopod
Customer Review: Great monopod for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased my first dSLR, a Canon Rebel XSi, and was finding most of my action shots to be quite blurry, regardless of which settings I chose. I figured hand-shake must be my problem, so I needed a monopod. I did a lot of research (especially here on Amazon) before purchasing this monopod and was not disappointed. It's so simple: basically a (easily!) retractable stick with a screw on top, but it does the job. It does have a rubber bottom for traction on smooth surfaces that you can twist to covert to a spike for unstable surfaces, like, say, dirt. Pretty nifty.
But the proof is in the pudding: I took some pictures of my daughter running and every picture was sharp as a tack!
Will this be the only monopod I'll ever need in my life? Maybe not, it doesn't look like it's built to last a lifetime, but I'm planning to be careful with it, and won't be using it on a daily basis anyway. Being an amateur-hobbyist photographer, I'm perfectly happy with this bargain monopod.
If you're considering a tripod, I don't personally think any monopod will REPLACE that, but this is a good supplement. Much lighter, much smaller, much easier to carry around and set up, much more mobile once it is set up -- in situations where you don't want or need absolute stillness (you need to be able to pan easily), and you don't want to be in the picture youself, this does the job.
