I have used ND grad filters for years on my SLR and DSLR cameras. I love scenery photography as opposed to portrait so always looking to sort out the difference in the light between the horizon etc. I live near the sea les that 300m away and walk along the cliffs regularly and don't take my DSLR with me when walking the dogs but always have my iPhone so any unexpected scenes are normally captured using the iPhone. This ND grad filter will come in useful. It fits over the lenses of my iPhone and helps sort out the difference in the light. Once clipped on it is easy to rotate the bezel to the setting you want using your finger. You have to ensure that you do not go past each of the stops or you will get leakage. SO my advise is to check before shooting that you are at the required stop. The other great thing about this filter is that it unscrews from the clip holder and can be screwed onto my 52mm lenses..Bonus... All in all this is a great little filter that I will carry around with me when out walking the dogs. We have a dog walking bag which has Poo Bags and drinking water etc so it sits in the side pocket of the bag in its case. so it is always there if we get a lovely sunset or something really nice to photograph on the sea or beach.. Get little gadget well worth the money highly recommended... As soon as we get anything really nice I will update this with the images...

Got this for occasional use as a photographic tripod but use the walking stick bit every day so I'm getting my money's worth! Nice carrying bag makes it easy to take out with you.

It seems nice and sturdy I like that one leg can be removed and used as a single pole stand and a good walking stick.

This walking stick, I feel very secure!!

Great, holds the camera steady and doubles as a walking stick.

easy to adjust the length.used for my camera and am thinking about getting another for a walking stick.

I find myself shooting more and more video with my cameras. While with the advent of modern optical image stabilization, handheld video can be of very high quality, holding a camera (and particularly a not-particularly-lightweight DSLR) still for any amount of time becomes tiring, and the video will suffer as a result.Hauling around a full-size tripod is tiring and a hassle. This monopod is the perfect answer. Your camera quickly attaches to the top, you extend the telescopic leg to the required height, and you have perfectly stable video without the fatigue of holding your camera in place.The leg itself is made of hollow aluminum with three friction locks to lock the individual telescoping pieces in place. Once locked, it is very sturdy, with no movement of any kind. You can adjust the overall length to any height you wish - it locks into position once you extend it to the height you desire.The thick foam grip allows you to easily control steady, smooth panning motion, and you can do a bit of tilt as well by pushing the monopod forward or back. I did purchase a small ball joint adapter to screw to the top, which allows the camera to move independently of the monopod when more flexibility is required.The foot of the monopod is rubber, and the rubber foot can be screwed in, exposing a metal point, good for use on slippery surfaces such as ice.While useful for shooting steady video, it is also excellent for shooting in low light with slow shutter speeds where any movement turns the picture blurry, or for long telephoto shots where slight camera movement can introduce blur into the picture.Some people have reported problems with the threaded screw at the top coming loose and not being able to remove the camera, I have not experienced this issue.The monopod comes with a fitted carrying bag with an attached shoulder strap. Once collapsed, measuring around 18 inches long, you can put it in the bag, sling it over your shoulder and pretty much forget it's there.I haven't tried it, but looking at the solid foot (and metal spike) as well as the thick foam grip, I've thought more than once that it could also function as a walking stick. So if you're looking for an inexpensive, light, portable walking stick, perhaps this might be an option.Overall a good purchase, I'm glad I bought it - and my videos are much better for it!

Serviceable monopod and great walking stick, and there are two per package!I use this as a walking stick with my small fixed lens camera attached with a small ball-head during my daily walk-abouts. I keep the other stick in the car for the occasional roadside shot with the larger bodied D40 DSLR when I don't have time to set up the tripod.The foot has an ingenious design that allows for a pointed tip to be exposed when needed, or concealed by an adjustable rubber tip for use on hard surfaces.These are lightweight and extend from 21" to 63". The cam locks seem to be sufficient and lock securely.I have replaced the wrist strap with something larger and longer for more ease of use.I've only got about 10 miles on the walk-about stick but it is holding up well, but I don't really use it that rough either, i.e. as a hiking pole.
