    Excellent monopod for go pro shots looking back, and forward. It starts to get a little wobbly when the last arm is fully extended but collapse it an inch or 2 and all the flimsy feeling is gone and it feels sturdy again.

    This monopod works as selfie pod too! I bought this one because I can bring it inside the plane and use it while on a layover because it is small enough to put inside a backpack or handcarry. This is also very stable. I used this for my Sony a6000. As a selfie pod, this is going to be very heavy already if you are going to extend it all the way through. You could also easily buy a replacement for the ball head of this if you want to use a cellphone instead of a camera, which is not a bad idea since you could really be sure for the reliability of the pod itself. You could switch the ends of this which is also a plus.

    This is a great monopod for different options. In my case, it was for a 360 camera so I can get a higher vantage point and provided a lightweight way to have a good handle but attach it to a solid head

    I am new to using a monopod, but now that I have used this one, I don't know why I didn't start using one earlier. Makes it much easier to take good, steady pictures. Monopod is easy to use. Has various heights. Very light to carry. Would highly recommend.

    I purchased this right before my trip to Italy because I wanted something that allows me to hold my GoPro in place while recording but also giving me the option of extending the monopod so that my camera can capture a wider angle. This product does the job and is really great. It fits well in my daypack when folded properly and is relatively light weight. It has two options where you can attach your gopro or your regular camera. Also it gives you the option to angle your camera in any direction so that was a bonus. Overall, I would recommend this product.

    It was but almost 5 star. I need to take out 1 star because it has no phone adapter. Everything else is perfect. Sturdy yet light to carry. I really like it.

    So so, limited in expandability

    Found this monopod short of ideal height, i.e. something that would allow camera to be at head level. Added a pistol grip that brings total monopod plus grip to adequate height. But was really hoping to be able to add a standing monopod-type foot at the bottom of the monopod, and found I couldn’t. Bottom part of monopod has a male screw rather than a female receptor, and every standing monopod foot I have seen requires a female receptor at the bottom.

    This is really good to get selfies or to take video without holding your arm up to try and take a video. It can be used with a GoPro as well

    I purchased this for a very specific function. I've mounted a Rotolight Neo to one end to enable me to position the light on my subject while shooting. What's great about this thing is that it has a standard 1/4" mount on both ends. Yes. Both ends. In addition to mounting the light on one end, I've mounted a mini tripod on the other. Bam, instant tiny light stand.
