[2.125 lb] This monopod is very sturdy and well-made!

[2.125 lb] This is just perfect for hikes. It's sturdy enough to hold your cameral with a super-telephoto. Yes, a HEAVY duty tripod would be more secure, but then again, it would be too heavy to lug around. The tripod collapses down to fit underneath your daybag/backpack. I highly recommend this tripod. It replaced my vanguard for daily trips and hikes.

[2.125 lb] Being a taller person with a bad back I have a lot of issue with other monopods as I have to bend down to use them. This monopod extends to 80 inches so I can stand upright and be comfortable while shooting. Very durable and perfect for my needs!

[2.125 lb] I recently got a 200-500mm lens for my Nikon and while it's not too heavy to use without any kind of stabilization, long periods of holding it were getting tiresome and I was going to be shooting a hockey game in the coming weeks. So I dug through reviews and specs and decided on this one. The deciding factor for me was the height, I'm a taller person and the other highly rated monopods that caught me eye tapped out at a height that could have been slightly smaller than what I would need and their weight threshold seemed kind of low. This one blows those out of the water in terms of height and weight thresholds. I don't think I'll ever be in a position to push this one to its limits and apparently that's what sold me.

I've only used it a handful of times so far but it's been great. It was easy to quickly expand and shrink down while I was running around the arena and it felt solid and sturdy through the 4 hours of shooting. I'd definitely recommend it as I don't have anything negative to say about it. The extra stabilizing foot is a cool addition but, admittedly, I haven't really given that a go as I've been perfectly fine just using the monopod alone. Overall, it seems to be very durable and fits just fine in the side strap of my camera backpack which is obviously great for traveling purposes.

[2.125 lb] Upon first opening the box I was surprised at the relatively light weight but after inspecting the unit fount that it is very strong and very well made. I would not hesitate to recommend this item to anyone who is in the market for a well made monopod.

[4] This is a monopod with a good addition of 3 foldable feet. It's very sturdy and able to be used on nonflat surfaces. I'm usually a flip lock person but these twist locks are wide and easy to use. I put a Neeewer 36mm low profile head on. Its load rating is 66 lbs far more than I need. Do I recommend it is a solid yes. While less stable than a tripod it does give the support and steadiness for long heavy lens, my Pentax 645 cameras, and I use it for my Pentax Q S1. Keeps my kit lighter and easier to carry yet still has support on hand when needed.
Things that could be improved: 4 sections instead of three to make it smaller for transport. The knurled ring to lock the tilt base could be wider to make it easier. Like all tripods, there are no thoughts on connections to attach to a bag or strap. In all fairness, no one thinks of that on their tripods either. The three feet could be longer as they fold up to make a wider base.
To address the feet coming undone I recommend either using Pipe thread tape (2.5 wraps on the threads) Or Locktite blue thread. Use blue (it is for threads you may need to disassemble not red as it is not those parts you do not want to ever come apart) and 1 to 2 drops assemble and let set and the feet will not come undone unless you want them to.
Overall I am very pleased with this multifunctional monopod and recommend it.

[2.125 lb] Simple. Effective. Useful.

[4] This is perfect for me. It's strong enough for my 200-500 lens without breaking my budget. I've purchased from 3 Legged Thing in the past (through B&H) and was very satisfied. They didn't disappoint this time either!!!

[2.125 lb] This is by far the best tripod i've ever owned.

[4] Using for a GPS antenna in place of survey pole to carry on airplanes. Sturdy and collapsible.
