An amazing monopod that can also be used as a self-standing support for a light weight camera. This is the first mono/tri-pod that came with the cover/case that was big enough to accommodate the monopod with a video head attached. That's great planning.

Excellent for run and gun

Easily converts from hard surface use to field use. Unlimited positions. Like it alot.

This is a nicely refined piece of equipment for a Chinese Manufactured brand. You would expect this at the price point. I'm pretty satisfied over all. Easy to set up for monopod use.

Exactly what I was looking for

I was delighted when I received the monopod. It looked solid and felt solid. Soon my delight turned to dismay when I opened the monopod, extended it, and the top section wouldn't collapse back in ! It made me sad because I really liked everything else.

Opened it, extended it, and the top section wouldn't collapse back in. Had it delivered to a pro golf event where I was working to replace a previous (different brand) monopod that broke.

Despite checking the size, etc. it's still bigger/heavier in person than expected. As other Sirui products this one is very well built and a great value. I find the bottom head to be a bit too stiff, but the detachable legs are a huge bonus.

If you are considering this piece of equipment, stop looking and buy this !I spend the long winters researching photographic equipment, So I can spend every penny of my money on my photographic addiction !

Excellent monopod by Sirui. This is my second monopod by this company and both are excellent products. I love the flexibility the monopod offers. When I tested it, offers much, much more flixibility then MAFROTTO 561BHDV. As a matter of fact I have sold the Manfrotto.
