Carbon Fiber Monopod, 6-Section Portable Compact Camera Monopod Unipod Stick. Max Load 22lbs/10kg - MP286C

I purchased this Koolehaoda Carbon Fiber, 6-Section camera monopod - not for a camera, but for binoculars. I needed to be able to hold binocs more steady for a longer period of time than my old shoulders would allow, watching birds of prey around our part of town. This monopod is perfect. It will double as a steady stick for walking around town, too. The five twist grips have worked perfectly to tighten the sections at whatever height that I adjust them to. They are easy to work tightening and loosening both. Unless you're well over 6' tall, it will work well for a photographer, too. I was one for about 20 years. I recommend this Carbon Fiber over the lighter-made metallic ones - I haven't had one of them, mind you, I just think this one is much better than the others. I'm very happy that I sprung for the higher price of the Carbon Fiber. The quite large spike for hiking on softer ground is a great addition! I'm also glad it has both, the 1/4" and the 3/8" mounting screws, too (just in case I want to use it on one of my old folding cameras). I'm going to dust each twist grip with some powdered graphite, just to keep them from becoming hard to operate (in case some of the previous reviewers are correct in their assessment, even tho' I think that's probably unnecessary. It's a great-looking, sturdy monopod, and I expect it to last several years. I'm happy with it, and I highly recommend it.

Bon produit et bon rapport qualité prix.

Pratico e molto valido per quello che deve fare

De construction solide

This incredibly light weight monopod makes it easy to use the functionality of the monopod yet collapse it down to virtually no weight when the monopod function is not needed. I find it ideal for bird photography which needs a combination of needing and not needing a monopod.
