Customer service is great!

I bought this monopod to help with the corporate and wedding shoots I do with bmpcc4k. My rig is a decent size (camera, 20-70mm, vmount battery, external monitor) but it handled it pretty well. I definitely wouldn't leave it unattended as it could tip over with all its weight, but the extensions have never slipped for the size of my rig. The build quality is excellent and the form factor is really versatile. This allows it to be folded, fully extended, or even used as a tabletop tripod. It also rotates 360 degrees at the base so you can get some dynamic panoramas and "dummy" car shots, and the smooth head is exceptionally smooth for this price point. My monopod had a leg problem when I first used it. One of the connecting bolts had snapped off and this leg didn't stay locked in the up position (thankfully it still did when lowered). I was still able to survive the shoot and get some really good shots. I contacted Kayer after filming and explained what was going on. They contacted me immediately and sent a replacement leg insert. I just screwed them onto the original monopod and the problem was solved! Overall I would definitely recommend this product if you are interested in getting a monopod to complement your gear. It's much more portable than using a tripod and the customer service is top notch.
