Avella C325 58 Inch Carbon Fiber Camera 📷 Monopod: A Professional Telescopic Monopod for DSLR Cameras and Camcorders Review

Great alternative to my Sirui monopods. Also, it is lighter and more compact when folded. Add a leg mount and you have a stunning video monopod for under $100.

It's short enough to squeeze into my backpack. Extends high enough to comfortably look through my DLSR's viewfinder. Sturdy enough to carry a camera (Nikon D750) with a battery and a long telephoto lens.

I found what I needed for this old man with arthritis, balance issues and the desire to take a telephoto lens on short hikes in New Hampshire. This durable walking stick with camera mount isn't just for sports photographers. Did I expect that? No: much better. Design, assembly, appearance exceeded all my expectations. Excellent product. Thank you Avella for taking care of shipping such a lovely item. Wayne Hayes

I bought this monopod for my Sony DSLR especially for my son's upcoming high school graduation. I'm going to be using a telephoto lens and need something that provides a stable platform, is more portable and takes up less space than my standard tripod; it looks like it will work fine. I've mounted the camera on a monopod and played around with a telephoto lens for a bit in the backyard and it works like a charm.

I used it on a recent birding tour with a Nikon P900. The P900 has a 2000mm optical zoom that I find almost impossible to keep still unless there's a fence or tree nearby. This monopod has made my life so much easier. The build quality is excellent - I really couldn't ask for anything better. The only issue I had was that the monopod head is made of beautiful black anodized aluminum and has nothing in it to provide cushioning or friction. I added some felt pads to fix this and now the camera…

Cut aluminum thread after 1 shot. The thread for the legs is 3/8, which is cool, but the thread itself is far from the edge. So if you buy legs, make sure you have a long screw, at least 1.5", otherwise it won't work. Reach far enough for a reliable lock. Also a threaded insert made out of cheap material. It feels like aluminum .The mounting knobs came loose right out of the box, so I had to tighten it, otherwise when you put a panny GH5 with a pancake lens + zhyiun crane 2, it just falls off.

Pros: Excellent fit and finish, fairly durable and includes a set of clamp tightening tools. The product has two different feet for use on hard or soft surfaces. Cons: The monopod/hiking pole comes with two legs, one for hard surfaces and one for soft surfaces. As you can see in my attached picture, the hard tip is missing the o-ring that comes with the rubber foot. I lost a thorn on my very first trip. The seller replaced the block very quickly but I think the lack of an o-ring on the cleat…

This is a first review of the Avella C325 58 inch carbon fiber camera monopod. I'll update the review once I find some practical use. After hours of research and wanting to stay on a reasonable budget, I ordered this monopod to photograph my kids' graduations. I found it much easier to stabilize my heavy DSLR (Canon 5D MKIII + grip + batteries + L Series 24-105 f/4 lens) weighing around 5 pounds with a monopod. With the camera mounted on it, I found the camera and the overall stability of the…
