I own the P-204S but was in need of another tripod/monopod, so I purchased this because I've always liked the latches instead of spin locks found on the 204S. After one use I realized that its not nearly as sturdy as the P-204S.
The base has the ability to rotate which is a good thing, something you'd want on a Monopod. But, its very hard to level this thing because of it. Now this was not mean to be a tripod, but if your hoping to be able to rely on it for level shots on the run, well, you might be disappointed.
A very solid monopod, especially for video work. Compared to the older line-up (P-series), EP series have better feet that can now be adjusted at two positions. It can also be detached and be used as a table-top tripod.
I bought this specifically for the feature to turn it into a tabletop tripod. I also love the panning feature in the top. Stands upright also. It has a learning curve with understanding how all the feature work, but it creates beautiful shots. I'd recommend it.
I got my stand with the bag. I thought the trap was to connect to the monopod but its for the bad. no biggie. However im constantly fighting with the lower tightening nut vs the upper nut for rotation. I find the lower unscrews itself when trying to attach a camera or loosen the handle rotation.
broke 1 month ago bought it June of 2018, i still have the old twisty mono pod from sirui. but this one broke at the bottom the aluminum broke, ask if it under the 6 year warranty but it was not covered, sad.
LONG VERSION: Purchased Feb of 18. Used weekly on wedding and other event shoots for approximately 8 months. I was moderately satisfied with the unit, mainly from a value standpoint. Then the locking lever on the middle riser broke off in my wifes hand right before a wedding.
I take off one star only because I ended up going with the Carbon Fiber version of this due to weight, and the feet on this one are somewhat shorter than the aluminum ones on my carbon version.
Great monopod i like so much the claps the only thing that i dont like so much are Dance a little of the union of the monopod with the base
This monopod works great, but takes some getting used to. First time out, I did not have the feet locked tight enough and torque on the shaft caused some setting to loosen a bit. But the more I use it, the more I like it.
