Not Worth The Price Tag

Based on our own experience, this monopod is overpriced for the quality it delivers. Although it's lightweight and portable, it's not sturdy enough to provide a reliable base for a camera. The locking mechanism is also poorly designed and prone to slipping. As an avid photographer, I expect more from my electronics, especially when it comes to a piece of equipment that's supposed to help me capture the perfect shot.

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry and handle.
Cons
  • Legacy Model

Very important! Excellent quality!

Great carbon monopod! This set is of great value. The design is similar to Leofoto Carbon tripods with a similar design. The leg lengthens perfectly and the twist lock is easy to tighten and loosen. The leg disassembles for very easy cleaning - in case sand or dirt gets into the extension. There are no crazy plastic pieces to fall out when connecting the legs like other cheap brands. The head is small and fits perfectly with the monopod. I use this with Sony A7riii and Sony 100-400 GM. This is…

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Without auto control

The ball head is tiny but strong. The monopod is also lightweight and durable. Both work great!

Great little monopod. Lightweight and durable. Easily adjustable. The included ball head was tiny but still pretty solid. I would recommend updating it to all serious users. Then I switched to benro b1. I use the smaller one to mount accessories on other tripods. It's great for small cameras, but I just need something more durable and with a mount that matches my other tripods. The mount is Swiss style but it is smaller so not compatible with my other rigs. I took the combo because it was on…

Pros
  • Monopods
Cons
  • So far so good
