Review on πŸ“Έ Opteka M900: 71-Inch 5 Section Ultra Heavy Duty Monopod - Max Load 30 lbs by Curtis Sherman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Up to 30 pounds? No, I don't think so.

Excellent high. It was great to have a monopod that adjusts the camera to my height so I don't have to constantly bend down. Well it would. This unit continued to shrink. I had a Canon 5D Mark III, 70-200mm 2.8 lens, tripod head and flash (max weight 15lbs but I know less), but the monopod couldn't last more than 5 minutes. After that, the sections continued to collapse. It was second from the bottom. I used the monopod for 39 minutes and 34 of those minutes was a headache. I had to constantly unlock, expand, lock (was completion) sections between callable names. I'm glad it was a small class (less than 300 students) otherwise I worry about how it would have turned out. I gave this one star for height but as it failed to meet my needs I can't give it more.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Communication with seller
