Manbily Extendable Camera Aluminum Monopod with Feet,Portable Travel Monopod with Removable Tripod Stand Base for DSLR Canon Nikon Sony Video Camcorder,5 Sections up to 67-in,Max Load 15.5 Lbs（A-222）

I was so happy I didn't listen to the others and purchased this. Everything feels good and the legs and feet are built solid and nothing rattles like what was shown in the other's review. When stretched out to maximum height it does feel top heavy. I will be using it for my cell phone and sony alpha camera which is small and compact. I might not suggest it for user's who are planning to use it with their huge telephoto lens and big cameras.

Works great and it is extremely useful and serves its purpose. However, the tripod base comes unscrewed easily and frequently.

Todo perfecto

Works nicely for photos, love the metal feet, soft point and metal point for hiking. I added a wooden knob for using it as a walking stick. I found the right size, at Pinehurst Crafts - Unfinished Wood Ball Knobs, 2"L x 1.75"W. Knob has a predrilled hole. I stained it. Manbily should add this to the product. It cost about $2.50. Without the knob it looks unfinished, with your hand on the screw, not good. No, I don't work for Pinehurst.

The monopod is functional at best. However why the manufacturer has provided a carrying case is beyond my comprehension. It is totally dysfunctional because it is cut so tight that getting the monopod in and out of the case is sheer torture. I guess the manufacturer wanted to up the profit margin so compromised on the carrying case. Shame on Manbily. I wish they would just ship the product by itself rather than including a total farce of a carrying case since it does not fit the monopod. Buyer beware, and be prepared to injure your fingers if you use the carrying case.

I love the portability of it and the adjusting of height is done with ease. Whether I am sitting or standing I make the adjustment with out any issues at all. I find it very stable in all environments for shooting clean shots

Over all this is ok with light items but not very good with anything too heavy. Lighter the better.

After loosening the bottom section's lock, the section fell out. Seems like there should be something in the pole to keep it in place. There is something that does that for the other sections, so maybe there is a problem with their quality control. The aluminum seems really thin. I have an aluminum tripod and while it isn't expensive, at least the metal is thicker than what this is made from. There is no way to tighten the bolt that holds the feet into the bottom section. They should put some "flats" on that bolt so you could use a wrench to tightly secure that bolt. The nut that tightens the feet in place doesn't work very well and there isn't a good way to tighten it without loosening the bolt that holds the feet onto to the pole. I wouldn't risk attaching my camera to this monopod. There has to something better.
