Review on Xit XT72MP Pro Series 72-Inch Monopod (Black): Superior Support for Ultimate Photography and Videography Experience by Alexander Craner

The legs are great and I love the swivel feet for stability

This tripod suits me. Feet are great and I love the pivoting footpegs for stability. I like the weight of the product in general. What I'm starting to dislike is the camera mount. It looks cheap and the screw doesn't stay in the part, it's easy to fall out if you're not careful. Unusual camera mount. Most tripods I've used in the past have a square or rectangular mount, while this one is almost diamond-shaped, giving the general impression that it's not that stable when using a large lens, even when attached directly to the lens itself is mounted . The main complaint concerns the adjustable plate, which adjusts the horizontal alignment. This part is the cheapest of the entire product and after 2 months of use of only twice a week this part no longer stays flat. The screw is tight, but the camera still tilts down when using a larger lens. I have to manually raise the camera to get a smooth video or image. The lens/camera weighs less than 5 pounds so I'm not exaggerating.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
