Opteka MP100 67" Pro Photo / Video Monopod

I bought this to use with my Canon Rebel XTi. I immediately loved it since it added just a little bit more stability to my photos, which increased their quality, especially for macro and long distance shots. Then five months after I started using it, the metal screw that attaches to the camera broke off with my camera attached while I was walking with the camera and monopod supported on my shoulder. I luckily had the camera strap in my fingers, so I caught my camera before it hit the ground. Now this monopod is going into the trash. I'm definitely going to replace it soon though since my overall experience was positive and I found it to be a very useful tool. I just would like a longer-lasting product. Maybe it's a good idea to invest a little more money for one that is more durable.

I am really pleased with this product. It is super convenient to use and easy to adjust to differing photo situations. Whether I was in the stands sitting or on the sidelines of my son's football game, the monopod was easy to adjust and gave me the stability to take graet photos.

The monopod came within two days, was used immediately, and found very very useful. Took some 80 pics and had no problems with the monopod at all.

I am really pleased with this monopod. I am over six feet tall and I can use it comfortably.

I couldn't ask for more at $13.00. If the price goes back up to $60.00 I might think twice, but at this price there's no reason not to get one.

It's light weight and easily doubles as a walking stick while on hiking trips. It definitely helps me frame my shots easier, and it's not a pain to carry around.
