Review on 📸 Enhance Your Photography Experience with the Vivitar VT67 67-Inch Camera Monopod (Black) by John Larsen

I'm not an avid photographer/videographer or anything like that. I just knew I needed something to keep things stable while using my camcorder. For that purpose, this monopod works great. I chose a monopod over a tripod simply because that's where I'll be using my camcorder. Most of what I recorded was in classrooms/gyms where there wasn't much space due to seating and the subject wasn't necessarily quiet. When you're in a relatively crowded lecture hall or gym, you don't really have room to set up a tripod. If your subject is mobile, you need a relatively mobile base. I think it's safe to say that moving the tripod will be a little awkward as the whole point of a tripod base is to keep it very stable and in one place. I don't have anything to compare the Vivitar monopod to, so I'll just give you my thoughts. The monopod is lightweight, which comes in handy when you're carrying it around or when you need to be mobile while shooting. The leg latches snap and release quickly and silently, making monopod height adjustment very easy and smooth. The fully extended height of the monopod is more than I could have imagined. In fact, I don't think I lengthened more than two sections when using the monopod. The bottom has a pointed end that can be covered with an indoor rubber element. The ending cannot be removed. The quick release worked well for me and was a nice addition, although I don't really need it. The monopod comes with a carrying case which I think works but is pretty flimsy. Reminds me of umbrella covers. The bag also says Vivitar in big white letters, if that's important to you. Again, I don't have anything to compare the monopod to, and I don't use my camera/camcorder that much. So keep that in mind as you read this review. Since I rarely use my camera/camcorder, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. The Vivitar monopod was just what I needed. If this is your first monopod and you're a photographer/videographer at best, go for it. At the price you really can't go wrong. If you are more advanced I think this is a very basic monopod. But to me this is a monopod - how much more advanced can it be and is it worth the extra money if you're not a pro?
