I have several monopods but this is my favorite. I like to use it legless and with the metal spike when walking, but the leg helps stabilize it. I mostly wear it without legs because it's lighter. I chose aluminum because it wasn't much heavier and about $100 cheaper. Now I think I should have switched to carbon fiber. I have a high quality Manfrotto carbon fiber monopod, but I'm having a hard time keeping it stable. I also love that you can detach the top and with my Desmond DMH-2 tilt head (also recommended) it pretty much becomes a very portable gimbal. Ideal for bird watching and listening
