Manbily Carbon Fiber Monopod (C-555L)

It's actually really goodBut you want the tripod feet and ball head another 45 quid to get the most out of itAs just a monopod it makes a non stabilized camera actually usable in low light with the extra bits it can be used as a very capable tripod when weight is less an issueIt's super light but strong enough to take a decent camera with lens too and a capable walking pole

As a disabled camera user, I found myself wondering what to do with my walking stick when I took photographs. I tried to hook it over my arm, but it destabilised me, made concentrating on the picture hard, or I would drop it, damaging my stick and putting me in danger of falling when I bent to pick it up. My wife uses a walking pole, and bought a new carbon fibre one when she found herself out without one. I was impressed with the lightness and balance, wondered if there was one with a camera mount. This one seemed too good to be true, but it's everything I wanted, very adaptable, collapses small enough to go in a bag, or extends for comfortable standing use and anything in between. It's usable as a walking support with my dslr attached. I'm very pleased, it's well made and solid.

Used this for a couple of outdoor jobs on the go. I wanted something that was easy to carry, lightweight, quick to put together and sturdy carbon fiber . I think this ticks all boxes. I can fit it in my racksack, whip it out and have it up and standing in a minute with camera on top with a turn of a screw on mechanism that is very secure . I also ordered a tripod and when I saw all the 101 pieces and the anxiety of putting it all together I just put it all back in its box and returned it! This monopod is so much better and easy if you just want to get on with the job of taking photos and just wanting a sturdy monopod to take the weight of a heavy camera and/or lens. Highly recommend. Also comes with a nice soft case.

I really must say what an an absolute surprise and pleasure to unpack this item. I find the quality of the monopod walking stick superb and the design and functionality also unbeatable. I really have to say that anybody wishing to buy something that is going to double up as a monopod and walking stick, or hiking pole if you wish, really could not do better than to buy this item and such good value for money..

Excellent used at a party with my 70-300 and my tripod ball head in conjunction with a short Ellie

If you're anything like me, you have probably bought many different tripods/monopods or other camera mounts in an effort to cover off your uses. I had been looking for a lightweight monopod that would work for camcorder or camera, that could collapse into a small space. Extensions should lock well with a ring rather than lever that sticks out. I'd bought and tried a few options and finally this one came up in a search, what a find... ultra lightweight and fits in a rucksack next to my laptop, the locking rings are a pleasure and the whole setup is really sturdy. It was dead easy to use and really helped get some great shots. Love it!

Just the job. Do well made.

The stick arrived promptly. Looks very sturdy as a monopod and is a useful walking pole. Saves me having to take both on a walk. Great piece of kit!
