There's always a "but", isn't there? I've been using it for a week or two now and so far I like it with one small exception. I use this to take 360 photos at a fixed height so my camera load isn't really a monopod load and the size of the base provides more stability for the indoor environment I work in but still allows me to use the camera Positioning right next to things can crowd the middle of the room. It also doesn't have any of the protruding protrusions like many tripods that can then block something important in the photo. Here's my roundup of the good, the bad, and the ugly. couldn't be easier. Just spread your legs, lay it on the floor and pull up the camera. Easiest and fastest camera mount I've ever used - Light weight - Enough room in the bag to keep my camera connected when I put it back in the bag (I'm currently using a Nikon Keymission 360 or Ricoh Theta) - The tilt controls is simple and reliable. Quick Release is very easy. Holds a lot of weight. I pushed down pretty hard and it wouldn't budge. We'll see how it holds up after 6 months of daily use, but right out of the box once the height is set it doesn't go down even if I push it hard. Storing after use is almost as easy. how to set it up. I just realized that I can stand and fold my legs up. I saw in a picture that it is possible but there were no instructions on how to do it and to date I have not noticed that the tabs that prevent the legs from folding actually move and allow them to to fold up. Now to store it I just take two buttons and push it down, then fold the legs and put it in my pocket. The world's easiest to store camera mount. Disadvantages: - Super short instructions. I had to find out for myself that I didn't have to detach the legs every time I wanted to put them away and that I could fold the legs up while they were still attached to the bar. - The stand is attached so it won't fall off and supports the camera perfectly, but you have to pull each segment out at least partially for the bottom segments to snap into place. It took me a while to figure out how to attach the bottom extensions and then slightly lift the top two sections so everything snapped into place so I didn't have to bend down and go from underneath. Now that I have a 100% locking mechanism, I just pick it up and go. I used to have to bend down to pick it up from the bottom segment so I wouldn't accidentally pull the rod out because the bottom two sections weren't fully extended. Again, more detailed instructions would be nice. Ugly: - There aren't any. Overall the pod is amazing and does exactly what I need it to do with ease. The two issues I'm having are strictly related to the documentation. Once I figured out the missing parts I needed to get the monopod working, everything went from great to perfect.
