Great value for a useful tool
I don't want to have to lug around a full tripod, but sometimes it would be nice to have something to stabilize the camera without relying on my surroundings. This monopod is a good value for occasional use.It is 21.25 inches long when fully contracted. It fits snugly on the side of my Slingshot 102AW bag, with just the padded portion going past the top of the bag. Easy to take out and set up. As others have mentioned the rubber base does not provide much protection over the metal tip, so be careful on delicate surfaces.The sections lock easily and securely. No issues with them slipping while in use. It's functional as a walking stick for balance but of course that use is not recommended. I only partially extend the smallest section and it gets the camera right at eye level. Great for long exposures (I can get 1 or 2 seconds combined with the camera's image stabilization), video, or just sighting with a telephoto.
