Comments about Davis & Sanford Monopod Duo:
The monopod worked great for the first few times I used it. The bottom clamp for the extention leg broke upon opening it to extend the leg. Then it was a flailing leg that could not be secured.
I have owned other monopods in the past and they tend to last for years. It's not like they go through significant abuse. Maybe I got the one bad one?
