Your request for a review came at a particularly opportune time. I purchased the Monopod for my son to use on a trip to Africa in 2002. I have had it since his return, but I had been unable to get it to lock properly-- until yesterday! from Adorama.com Your request for a review came at a particularly opportune time. I purchased the Monopod for my son to use on a trip to Africa in 2002. I have had it since his return, but I had been unable to get it to lock properly-- until yesterday! from Adorama.com This is my second purchase of this item. I left the first in a rental car and found I depend on this monopod quite a bit. The first one seemed to be of somewhat better construction and was easier open and set to height. from Adorama.com This is my second purchase of this item. I left the first in a rental car and found I depend on this monopod quite a bit. The first one seemed to be of somewhat better construction and was easier open and set to height. from Adorama.com The screw head of my Podmatic unfortunately came loose, probably caused by the "pistol grip" head that was attached to it. Adorama, as usual, offered to replace or refund without a quibble since it occured in the first year Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Opens Quickly Best Uses: Stabilization Describe Yourself: Hobbyist/Enthusiast from Adorama.com This is a great idea--a small, light, quickly extended monopod. Great for traveling and for places where you can't use a tripod. from Adorama.com Some drawbacks is that it is difficult to reduce length since it is optimized for quick extension. Once extended, it is not as easy to shorten it. Need to press a button at the bottom of the monopod. Would've been nice if it were at top since you need to flip it to press the button. from Adorama.com When I first bought my Podmatic, I ordered two by mistake. I liked it so much I kept the second one to give to my brother for his birthday. from Adorama.com Great Product, the quick load head adapter and the push butten leg release are both easy to use and have a very solid feel to them. I use this with a Samsung Pro815 digital camera which weighs over 6 pounds, and it holds it without a problem. It's a monopod so it's not 'hands free", but it certainly helps make your hands, "rock steady". Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Opens Quickly, Strong Construction Best Uses: Long Exposures, Reducing Noise (ISO Reduction), Stabilization Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend from Adorama.com I bought this excellent monopod after reading Herbert Keppler's article about it in Popular Photography & Imaging magazine (read the article attached to the monopods description). I also ordered the Sunpak Compact Ball Head with it and later added Manfrotto's 3299 Quick Change Rectangular Plate Adapter with the 3157N Plate to make the monopod even more versatile. from Adorama.com
