SiruiP-325FS Camera Monopod for Photography, 140cm Carbon Fibre Camera Monopod with Removable Tripod Stand Base, Travel Hiking Walking Stick Monopod for DSLR Camera, Video Camcorder, Max Load 10kg

This is a pretty awesome monopod. I bought it mainly because I need to get low to shoot sometimes and wanted to be able to quickly change. This is great when shooting near the shore, and you go from birds in flight to down on the water. It's exactly as advertised, looks cool, and works as expected.The system just works, and is heavy and stable.Only down sides: 1- It is a little heavy for a monopod... and 2- It's a singular system.. Sirui doesn't make any other tripod that uses the same quick connect system and has no plans to do so. (I asked.)

It’s far better than expected. To be clear, I expect Sirui products to be well made but this feels like military or medical equipment. The interlocking segments detach and reattach with precise and secure connections… buttery smooth. Every metal, plastic (latch tabs only) and carbon piece is flawless. It’s heavy feeling but not dense. The feet are made of thick sheet metal. No molded/rough looking anything. Even the rubber feet are stalky. Couple of minor delights: the rubber/metal foot is threaded to reveal a spike… or be completely removed should that become an airport issue. Also the top section can be unlocked to provide a fluid-like panning of what’s on top. I paired mine with an undersized smallrig pan head to keep it light and to fit my arca-camera cage. I got the short one because my fashion work is often shot at lower angles and I want this to fit my carry on when disassembled. Even the blue color is pleasant. This thing is sick.

magnifique !très stable, même avec le bras en déport pour mettre mon écran.Qualité remarquable !et surtout ultra léger !achat indispensable pour tout amateur de photo ou vidéo

I have a fancy gitzo tripod that cost an arm and a leg. Possibly two legs with inflation.. That said, I am now leaning on this monopod in almost all situations. It's really well built, the release mechanism is a savior, and you can see thought and care was put into all aspects of the design. In the end, I needed something portable to stabilize a monster 500 mm prime lens, and in addition to their K-40x was the ticket.I really feel this is becoming the go to premium value brand for high-quality gear at an affordable price.

Hermoso objeto, construido con excelentes materiales, hermoso a la vista, tiene apariencia profesional, muchas funciones y mucha adaptabilidad, y ahí terminan las cosas positivas.Hablando del uso para el que fue construido, lo necesitaba principalmente para tomar fotos al aire libre mientras viajaba y para reemplazar el trípode poco práctico y pesado de llevar, durante las primeras pruebas que hice noté que la varilla se balancea fácilmente al más mínimo toque. incluso con vientos moderados.Para obtener un resultado satisfactorio tuve que esperar cada vez a que cesaran las oscilaciones y disparar con un mando a distancia.Las exposiciones prolongadas corren riesgo, de repente la cámara podría tambalearse y tendrías que empezar todo de nuevo.Me gusta como objeto y no lo devolveré, lo usaré como un monopié normal, un poco más avanzado de lo normal pero un monopié con todas las limitaciones del estuche.
