Acuvar 62' Inch Monopod with Integrated Safety Strap and 4 Section Extending Pole for All Digital Cameras, DSLR, Mirrorless, Compact Cameras, Camcorders & Cell Phones

Thus does telescope into a good size. I can strap it on my camera bag and it's out of the way. Nice and lightweight. Easy to use and telescope out. Feels nice and sturdy when extended. The foot is an awesome addition. It has a point for when using on softer ground like grass or turf. You can also unscrew it past the point and it becomes a plain rubber foot so you can use it on more solid ground, like cement or wood. Nice padded grip for comfort. Camera just screws right on the top. One thing I will say negative about it is you have to tilt the whole setup, and you can't just adjust the camera on the monopod, which made it a little awkward to shot at downward or upward angles, which I use it in football stands, which means I'm having to try to tilt it downwards a bunch. This definitely helps me to steady the camera so I could use longer shutter times. For happy with this purchase.

Out of all the available monopods out there, this one is one of the cheapest and pretty stable. I have tried using on my Sony a7 IV + Tamron 150-500mm lens and Sony 200-600mm lens. Up to Tamron, it’s doable as it is not as heavy but I did find that with heavier lens, it can feel unstable the higher you go. So keep it mind, you do get what you pay for but for what you pay, I believe they do good job for it. The material is mostly made out of plastic so if you do drop it accidentally, you can crack any of the monopod part. So be careful.

Purchased for my son with special needs to continue his photography hobby. This allows stability and support he needs with the camera. Very pleased with the construction and design, easy to use and strong.

Very light monopod. The locking clamps hold tight, and it compacts nicely. It does not feel quite as sturdy as the more expensive pro versions, but that's to be expected, and I didn't really notice any significant give, even when I had the full-frame with the 600 mm lens attached. Got good steady pix with it and with the quick detach, could use it to steady myself on the trail. I'm happy with it.

Just as the web describes. Have used it many times

I do not recommend this product. Cheap, but will not hold my heavy camera. I got what I paid for, unfortunately.

I bought this to replace a similar monopod that I inadvertently left behind on a shoot. To my surprise, this one is better built than the name-brand Vivitar it replaced. The friction-lock height adjusters are more robust and less prone to slippage. It cost less and extends higher by a couple of inches. A win-win! The top mounting screw is a standard 1/4"-20 thread. To this, I can screw on a 1-1/2" phenolic ball to the top and use this as a handy and compact walking stick. The base has a retractable metal point for "off-road" use. I'm delighted with my purchase.

Pros:Light weight - 9.10 oz.Short when fully retracted - 16 7/8"Mediocre quality but usable:Rough edges around plastic claspsTop section hard to pull outBottom clasp does not hold tight, bottom section would slide when pressed
