After receiving this Velbon RUP-43 Monopod with Ball Head I was pleasantly surprised at how solid and sturdy it was. It actually has groves on both sides of the legs. from Buy.com Was searching for an alternative to dragging my tripod around, for use with the Nikon D60 using the 55-200 lens. from Amazon.com After hearing many testimonies about how a monopod helped out photographers that did not want to deal with the bulk of a tripod, I decided to look up the highest rated monopods on Amazon. Discovering the Velbon RUP-43, and noting that it should be able to support the weight of my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28, I purchased it right away. from Amazon.com I bought this monopod especially for vacationing on South Padre Island, Texas. We are always on the go down there, and there is almost always a photo op somewhere. from Amazon.com I purchased this monopod with the manfrotto 323 RC2 quick release plate. This combination has worked amazingly well with my E510 and 70-300mm zuiko. from Amazon.com What matters most to me in tripods (and monopods) is length and feel. Velbon, at it's price has a very solid feel to it, and has right length. from Amazon.com I am writing about this Velbon monopod as I am an owner of one! This monopod I purchased from amazon.com was for sport photography, and I choose this one because I saw it had the mobility and low weight that I have desired for. from Amazon.com This isn't as costly, small or light as many monopods but is a versatile, functional and adequate instrument for those seeking an inexpensive solution, starter set or just a spare to throw in the car. Weighing in at about a pound and a bit longer than a 1.5 feet this is a little larger and heavier than many others on the market but also a very inexpensive solution. from Amazon.com Even with monopods costing double or triple the price, this one is great. I needed one with a tilting head to switch from portrait to landscape fast. from Amazon.com I purchased this with the intention of using it with a DSLR. However, the ball head iand mounting platform are small and therefore is more suited for a point and shoot camera. from Amazon.com
