Review on Koolehaoda Camera Aluminum Monopod with Three-Legged Support Base & K-09 Ballhead for DSLR Camera Canon Nikon – Extended Max Height: 69-inch by Dave Phobia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You are buying an amazing monopod, the carrying case is just an additional accessory!

It seems like people stuck to the carrying case instead of the monopod itself and mistakenly downgraded the item. We buy the monopod here, the bag is just an additional accessory. I looked at several and much more expensive options before deciding to try this monopod mainly based on reviews, low price and ball head already included! When shooting with a Nikon D750 on a 70-200 f/2.8 or a Nikon 200-400mm f/4 lens, a monopod is essential to get clear images of distant, fast-moving subjects, especially in low light. I prefer the portability of a monopod to tripods for shooting with a telephoto on the go. Can't wait to try it out shooting 70-200mm weddings this season! I have used a monopod with and without three legs. Since I don't leave my gear unattended on a monopod like I would on a tripod, I found that the legs weren't necessary for photography. HOWEVER, I have found the detachable feet to be very valuable when using them when shooting with a crop sensor DSLR or GoPro. I can't go wrong with the price. If you don't like it, do an expensive setup and use it as a backup. As I own half a dozen other tripods I use one of their carrying cases when I need more than what comes with them.
