## Description

Product Description               The Compact Monopod is the ideal support for traveling and is suitable for both Photo and Video recording. Usable in any situation - particularly when space is limited amongst a crowd of people - it eliminates shaking from your videos and helps you support your equipment for long periods of time so you can relax. The 5-section legs provide maximum compactness and transportability. Additionally, an adjustable wrist strap guarantees safety and comfort. SPECIFICATIONS: Closed Length 15.35 in; Color black; 5 Leg Sections; Load Capacity 3.31 lbs; Material aluminum; Maximum Height; 57.28 in; Minimum Height 15.35 in; Weight 0.64 lbs.                  From the Manufacturer                 If you need to improve your photos or videos, but space is the real constraint, then a monopod can help: it's like one leg of a tripod, supporting most of the weight of the camera, stabilizing your shots and reducing vibration, while occupying so little floorspace that you can use it safely in crowded places, then pack it away in the smallest of bags, ideal for traveling.   Using a monopod improves the results you get from your camera by helping you hold it steadier than you can by yourself, making photos sharper. When it comes to video, a monopod reduces the distracting shakiness that hand-held video often has, and allows you to do simple pans and movement shots by turning the monopod and camera around. A monopod gives you the flexibility to use camera settings (like low ISO, for example) that produce better quality images, and holds the camera still for longer exposures and video in low light, producing shake-free photos and film that really capture the colors and atmosphere. Key Features: Universal tripod adaptor which screws directly into the tripod thread of your camera.Convenient wrist strap for safety and comfort.  Ergonomic lever leg locks to allow you to open and close it quickly and easily.

    Quality Monopod Overall, But 3-lb Weight Specification Somewhat Overrated + Issues With The Mount Adapter
  

*by S***W on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012*

This monopod has to be the most compact full-size monopod I've ever seen. I have two other monopods, one a 
  
Manfrotto 680B







  
  
    , and the other a 
  
Leupold Trek Pod II







  
  
    , but neither is as compact (both in width and length) when fully retracted (The Manfrotto 680B is in fact about 3 times the width and quite a bit longer). Depending on the weight of your camera setup (body + lens) and whether you'll be using a ballhead (both issues addressed under "Camera Setup" and "Use of a Ballhead," respectively), this monopod may or may not be the ideal choice.Camera Setup------------This monopod is of course made for a specific market, namely users of lightweight cameras/camcorders. If you need a monopod for a lightweight camera (either a compact camera or one of those smaller compact camera/DSLR hybrids) or a compact camcorder, this monopod is a good choice.When retracted, the length of the monopod is 15-1/2" (just slightly longer than a 12-inch Subway sandwich). When fully extended, it measures 57-1/2". The largest section  is 1" in width (not counting the grip, which is a tad larger at 1-5/16"). Note: the cross section of the monopod is oval, not round, which helps to make the monopod relatively flat for wedging it in tight spaces in a backpack.The 3-lb weight rating from the specifications for this monopod is somewhat of an overestimation. Don't get me wrong, this monopod will hold 3-lb -- or more. But if you mount a heavier (2 or more lbs) camera on the monopod and lean your body weight slightly into the monopod to plant it firmly into the ground for extra stability, the sections will start to bend a little.A word about the use of a monopod: After doing quite a bit of googling and youtubing, I find the most stable way to use a monopod is to use the bottom end of the monopod as a pivot and angle the monopod towards you (vs. placing the monopod vertically) and then lean your body slightly into the monopod to firmly plant the bottom end of the monopod into the ground. Next, adjust the ballhead (sold separately) accordingly to level out the camera.With that said, if you're getting a monopod for a bigger camera (such as a Canon 5D or 7D) AND you're leaning into the monopod, you're better off with a sturdier monopod, like the 
  
Manfrotto 680B Monopod







  
  
     (which when coupled with the 
  
Manfrotto 678 Folding Base







  
  
     turns the 680B monopod into both a monopod AND a tripod -- nifty!). I use the 680B for my 7D and use this monopod only for my compact 
  
Sony Cybershot







  
  
     and 
  
camcorder







  
  
    .Use of a Ballhead-----------------This monopod comes with a 1/4" (20 threads per inch) to 3/8" (16 threads per inch) adapter (the 1/4" diameter is for mounting the camera directly onto the tripod while the 3/8" diameter is for mounting a ballhead). There are a couple of problems:(1) When unscrewing the ballhead, the adapter sometimes comes off the monopod and remains screwed into ballhead (this problem is intrinsic to 1/4" to 3/8" adapters).(2) It's easy to screw the adapter on too tightly. I did so, and had to use a pair to pliers to unscrew it from the monopod (the adapter left a permanent depression at the base of the screw atop the monopod). I suspect this problem would not have occurred if the material at the base of the screw had been high density rubber.I would have preferred if this monopod had used an adapter much like the one on the 680B. On the 680B, the 3/8" adapter is a retractable sleeve permanently affixed over the 1/4" screw  -- a much better design (and an ingenious one at that).Quality-------Last, the monopod is made in China (the 680B is made in Italy), but the quality is really quite good. The sections retract and extend very smoothly. There is barely any friction between sections, so the monopod can be extended or retracted very quickly. Overall, the monopod is well-built and looks polished (it doesn't look cheap to be sure).---I have no other complaints about the monopod (other than the overrated weight limit and problems with the  1/4" to 3/8" adapter). Recommended for lightweight compact cameras and camcorders.

    Small and lightweight, great for hiking or traveling, but too short and not quite sturdy enough if your not.
  

*by P***V on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2016*

This is great for traveling since it is so lightweight and easy to fit into luggage. Measuring my bags compared to most of the other popular tripods on Amazon, those others would have been a very close squeeze. I was able to slide this monopod into my 
  
Lowepro Photo Hatchback 16L Camera Backpack - Daypack Style Backpack For DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras







  
  
     without a problem. It is less than a pound but when using with my Canon Rebel and 70-300mm lens the monopod would be a little bendy, kind of defeating the purpose of a monopod but still probably better than trying to handhold the camera with lens extended. I am 6' tall and even at full extension I had to hunch over a bit. Fine for snapping a couple of shots while on a hike, but could get old if I was trying to photograph a soccer game or something like that. It is well made as I have come to expect from Manfrotto and while I did end up picking up a cheap min-ball head mount I found that I didn't really need it.Bottom Line: Recommended if you are looking for a travel monopod

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    It's excellent, and worth the small investment.
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2013*

This monopod is great, for what it is. If you're thinking about one of the $15 generic branded monopods (Dolica, Vivitar, Opteka, etc), I'd purchase this instead (and hey, I did!). It is small and compact. Great for traveling. While that means you can't abuse it like you could some other models (I'm looking at you, beefy 
  
Manfrotto 680B







  
  
    ), it is sufficient for almost any DSLR and lens combination, with the possible exception of the 300mm 2.8 primes (and larger). But you don't have those lenses, because you're a normal human being, with a finite budget.Yes, the smallest section is thin. You may find that you don't need to extend it. And don't lean on it sideways, because if you tried, you could damage it. But use it like a normal person, and it'll be fine for far more than the rated 3.3 pounds. It holds my Nikon D300 and 80-200mm 2.8 lens just fine (maybe 6 pounds?), and could safely hold a bit more. It also, with an accessory attachment (
  
this one







  
  
     is awesome!), makes a pretty good flash holder/extension pole thingie. Mount a speedlight on it, and use this light monopod to perfectly position the light for portraits (granted, it helps if you have an assistant for this).Note that the tripod screw it comes with is a 1/4" thread, not 3/8". That means that you can either mount a compatible ballhead on it, like the 
  
Professional Mini Ball Head Camera Mount







  
  
    , or get an adapter that will change it to a 3/8" thread (I'd recommend the 
  
Manfrotto 088LBP Adapter 1/4-Inch- 20 to 3/8-Inch with flange







  
  
    , though there are plenty others that will work).Oh, and you can always just screw the monopod into your camera. That works too, though it makes taking portrait-oriented images a bit tricky (note: same of ANY monopod without a head, not a criticism of this one).Anyway, it's small, it's light, it'll fit in your bag better than anything else out there, and it'll stabilize your camera and lens. Unless you intend to be rough with your gear (on the sidelines of football games, maybe?), it'll be fine. If you need something beefier, get that other one I mentioned (the 
  
Manfrotto 680B







  
  
    ). It's much stronger, much heavier, and extends more than this one. It's a beast, but it's pretty much indestructible).
