Customer Review: Extremely useful! Light and ultra portable.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been shooting videos mostly of my 3 kids at school programs. With so many people around, it is hard to get to the front to take a nice clear angle shot of my kids. My wife and I mostly ends up with jittery shots and with the back of the heads of people in our frame. Now I can extend it on top of anybody's head who is in front of me and I get clear shots. I also can stand it on the floor while sitting down for a steadier shots. As for still digital cameras, I can now shot with slower shutter speeds as opposed to holding the cameras with my hands.
It comes with the monopod, a mini tripod, a pouch, a wrist strap and a small carabiner clip. Made in China.
The monopod is very very light which is exactly what I need as I felt awkward carrying a full size tripod although we have 2 in the house. I also have a regular monopod which is also bulky and cumbersome to tote around. This thing is 9" long and extends to 38 1/2" (You can adjust to any length in between). The segments do not have a lock but it is tight enough to hold steady your camera plus a few pounds. The head has the regular screw to mount your camera. You can change the angle 180 degrees and can be tighten with a turn of through a ball pivot. Best for the Flip videos, Creative Vado and digital point-and-shoots. It also has a tiny mirror to orient your composition if your are photographing yourself. No way I would recommend this for DSLR cameras - they are too heavy for this kind of equipment.
I was also surprised to learn that the tripod legs can also be extended. I did not know that until I read the 1-page manual. The monopod and the mini tripod can work together. You can remove the round end tip of the monopod and will reveal a hole for the tripod head screw. Attach it and you have a free standing 4-feet tripod. Just make sure nobody bump it or trip on it as it is not as stable as a regular tripod.
Construction wise, it may not be the greatest. Do not overtighten it, the knob is made of clear plastic which does not look as tough as the black knobs that are normally attached to regular tripods. But for my use, it solved my need. This is such an ingenious gadget; I am happy and loving it!
