NEEWER Professional Camera Monopod with Feet, 70.5"/179cm Telescopic Portable Aluminum Travel Monopod with Pan Tilt Fluid Head and Removable Tripod Base for DSLR Camera Camcorder, Max Load 13.2lb/6Kg

Very sturdy. Holds heavy Canon DSLR for church video. We mounted this monopod to the corner of our tech booth and holds a static video camera. Very sturdy, now wiggle or sway.

This was a big surprise when I got it out of the box. It’s a very nice, well made monopod. Little heavy but for 100 I can deal. You can’t go wrong. Only does landscape

Loved it

Solid well-built monopod

This monopod is a bit on the heavy side, but you will appreciate its sturdiness when you are out shooting with those long, heavier lenses.

The adjustable 4-section leg design allows for easy height adjustment, and the foam handle provides a comfortable and secure grip.Set up was a breeze thanks to the intuitive” locking mechanism, which allows for quick adjustments and secure positioning. And when it's time to pack up, the monopod collapses down to a compact size, making it easy to store in its included carrying case.Overall, the NEEWER Professional Camera Monopod is a fantastic piece of equipment that provides an excellent mix of functionality, dependability, and ease of use. Whether you're a professional photographer, videographer, or enthusiast, this monopod is a worthwhile investment that will help you capture great shots and footage on the go.

Pros:1. It is a very sturdy monopod. It holds my Nikon D850+ Nikon 200-500mm lens without any problems in terms of payload.2. Very good build quality. The tilt/Pan head moves smoothly.Cons:1. The lockdown screw for the quick release doesn't stay. I mounted my Nikon D850+ a Nikon 200-500mm lens for outdoor shooting. I quickly noticed that I couldn't tighten the screw with a reasonable torque applied to the knob (of course with my fingers). It starts loosening almost immediately or stays in place for a few movements at best. I had to constantly re-tighten the knob in order to secure the camera during my shooting. The camera may not fall due to the safety feature (a spring-loaded sliding knob which is a good design). However, it was a big concern and distraction for me during the shooting. I considered it not acceptable. So, I am going to return it.Suggestions:Ideally, I would use my right hand to operate the camera while using my left hand to hold the tilt/pan head handle for pointing. The fact is that if I mount the dovetail slider toward the front, the tilt/pan head handle will be on the right side. I will have to extend my left hand to the right side to operate the tilt/pan head which is awkward. Yes, the dovetail slider can be mounted from the front toward my body so that the tilt/pan head handle is on the left side which is convenient. However, by doing this, the quick-release knob is on the right side which makes it very difficult to reach with the left hand while I am holding the camera with my right hand. So, my suggestion is to relocate the handle so that a photographer can operate the camera and tilt/pan head with both hands easily. As to the quick-release knob, I don't know the root cause as I decided not to disassemble the tilt/pan head to look into the internal design. Based on my experiences, changing the shape of the screw tip, for example, the cone tip, or increasing the number of threads engaged may help.

I really like this product however I am only giving to 3 stars because of a couple things. When you take the bottom off to make it a true monopod there is no protected piece to insert into the threaded part to keep dirt, mud, grass, etc. from getting in it. Second when I tighten down the QR plate it makes the camera sit uneven and leans to the left. IF I keep it, I will need to shim under the left side in order for the camera sit level. Very frustrating to take crooked pictures. On the line at this point to keep or return.
