Review on πŸ“· Opteka 72-Inch Photo Video Monopod: Ultimate Stability for Digital SLR Cameras and Camcorders by Shawn Jacobs

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expand your photographic possibilities with a monopod.

I get a little shaky with age and after a trip to Europe I saw many with a monopod for their phones and camcorders and Go Pro. I have a Nikon D-90 and a Lumix LX-7 and it's a nice package, with a pouch that fits in your regular 24" suitcase. It is lightweight and can be used as a walking stick when not in use. The grip is soft and the 3-stage foot extends well past my 5'9" head. If you had a remote shutter release like I did, you could easily get awkward angles. It's from 47th St. Photo in New York and the shipping/packaging/communication was excellent and has been for many, many years. As a New Yorker I trust them!(laughs) The price was really great and the quality was good.- David Allen.

Pros
