## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Purchase
*by D***T on March 18, 2014*

I was thrilled with the quality of this product. It is heavy duty without being heavy. I was concerned about the 57" height thinking it would be too short. I was wrong. It is the perfect height for my 5'2" height with plenty of length left to use if need be. The ball head and quick release work very well. I have used this product exclusively since it arrived. Indoor or outdoor it has proven to be a high quality product. More convenient than my tripod. It came in a durable case with a hex wrench in case anything should come loose. The case does not have a zippered pocket to store it in though. I like to keep my tools with the product they came with so I pinned it to the inside of the case so I won't lose it.  I can not think of any reason not to purchase this monopod. Have already suggested it to several friends and family members. Definitely will purchase another one soon for my husband. Great price. Great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Monopod
*by O***! on March 27, 2015*

It seems sturdy which is good as I'm taking it to Ireland. My only complaint is that it is rather long in its collapsed position and doesn't fit well in my backpack

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars
*by H***Y on December 5, 2014*

A little light in construction, but it works perfectly for me
