- Improved rubber dust-resistant leg lock design prevents dust or moisture from entering the interior of the twist-locks.
- Foam grip on top leg section improves handling in extreme weather conditions.
- A handy hand strap is incorporated into the monopod.
- The three set screws in the camera platform can be used to permanently secure the head to the tripod, providing additional security.

I bought this item to use towards the end of weddings shoots, when my arms are tired. Works great! now I use it 80% of the time during shoots. My arms and shoulders don't have the hurt the next day like before.

Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
I wanted a monopod after trying one at an event. Didn't want to spend alot but wanted a quality example. The legs deploy very easily but are very secure; perfect height for me; and the hidden legs are quite handy but I would not depend on them when a tripod would be better suited for the job.

Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
Excellent product. Will enjoy it for years.
I like the way that the legs twist to extend.
Un twisting the bottom screw and reversing it allows the legs to extend.

Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
Really impressed by quick turn leg locks - been a while since I bought a pod. Solid sturdy, well, except 'legs'. I just needed them for the occasional self portrait..... and thats all they are good for with a light (25oz) camera and with little vertical extension. Need a fairly level surface for them also. Serves the purpose I needed them for but do not expect any stability from these legs.

Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
I purchased so I could use my longer lenses in lower light situations and it has worked perfectly. It's a great balance of quality, weight and functionality. In a pinch you can use the optional fold out feet but if there is wind you get a some wobble.

Bought this for me DV, easy to use.
Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
I use this when I need support for a big lens. Over time a big lens wears you down, this eliminates that and also keeps the lens movement to a minimum. This thing is heavy, but my opinion on that is it is still lighter than a tripod. It also is very tall. I'm 6'3'' and it is taller than I need. I find the bottom feet to be a gimmick, I can't imagine letting thousands of dollars of glass rest on that. I can't find a tilt head that matched this weight rating. Anybody know of one?
Pros
- Cost Quality and Function
- Easy to use
- Relible
Cons
- A little Heavy
Best Uses
- Shooting outdoors
- Shooting with long leses
Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
Tripod is well built and very functional. The tripod legs are useful but not very stable you still need a real tripod. I use a tilthead on mine and always have it with me in my camera backpack for use when I go on trips or hikes to the various islands here in Hawaii. I like the ease of use it extends quickly and locks exactly where you want it so you have stable support.
Pros
- Added stability
- Affordable
- Light
- Portable
- Sturdy
- Versatile
Cons
- Difficult to tighten
Best Uses
- Bird Watching
- Decent lighting
- On-the-go shooting
- traveling
Comments about Benro MP-91M8 Aluminum 4-Section Monopod:
For a monopod, you're getting good value for money. The monopod is light, sturdy and portable. The additional legs for stability are nice, but don't confuse this for a tripod. While the monopod will stand on it's own, it is highly susceptible to vibration and wind.
