The Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap was designed to make carrying your monopod easy without inflicting discomfort to your shoulder. The outer fabric is made of a Polyamide material which has exceptionally high abrasion resistance and a soft feel. It also aerates when in contact with skin and will not hold water or perspiration which could lead to rashes or blisters. The inside surface is a rubber-like, high-quality neoprene 12mm closed-cell foam which is durable and provides superior adhesion to the monopod leg.
You will notice before applying the Wrap that it is shaped a little like your hand. The inside gripping surface is smaller than the outer surface so it naturally wraps around the pole. The fingers in this case are the three large hook Velcro tabs that adhere to anywhere on the outer fabric, so it can be secured tightly. The combination of the inside rubberized grip surface and the adjustable Velcro tabs will ensure that the Wrap will not cause irritation to the user by sliding down the pole.

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
I bought this after getting tired of having a sore collar bone from lugging my gear up and down the sidelines at football games. The padding on my monopod is great for a grip, but is not very soft. I used it for the first time shooting a football game last week, and it made a world of difference. I wish I would have bought it a long time ago. The only disadvantage it has is that it is difficult to remove.

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
The [$] Aqua Tech monopod pad makes it much more comfortable to sling a monopod with a 300mm or 400mm on the shoulder. The design does indeed take away the discomfort. Forget about the DIY "pipe insulation". It does not have the right amount of cushioning compared to the Aqua Tech wrap.

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
This is without a doubt the best mono pad out there! Don't waste your money on cheaper ones. I can now carry my 7D with my ef500mm attached and carry if for milesin comfort. It's worth the money!

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
This is the first monopod wrap I've owned. It fits well and doesn't slid around. Helps to provide a cushion when slugging the camera and 400mm/2.8 lens on my shoulder. Only complaint is if your coat or gloves has a velcro it gets caught on the wrap.

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
OK, I've been shooting sports since I was in college in 1985. I've got most of Canon's long glass and I tried one of these from a tip from a buddy of mine. It was obvious even coming out of the box that it replaces any prior attempt to make a mono-pod cover. Anyone who spends long hours dragging a 400mm f/2.8, 600mm f/4, 800mm f/5.6 around will be instantly surprised at how much better your should will feel after a long day of shooting football, gold, or shooting nature photography. It's simply how they should have been designed in the first place! And, they are very inexpensive, in my opinion. I now have three of these, one for each mono-pod and they are fantastic...

Comments about Aqua Tech Monopod Wrap:
There are two Lightware monopod pads in the trash can in my garage right now. A buddy of mine turned me on to these and they completely replace any need for competition out there for this type product. I've had Canon pads, Lightware, and even a few home-made jobs too. I hump a 600mm f/4 and 400 f/2.8 at football games and I'm 45 yrs. old. These pads really make a difference at the end of the day! They are super comfortable even at a dead run, bouncing on your shoulder, and they fit perfectly, due to the three heavy duty velcro straps. None of my prior pads ever fit right on a monopod with the rubber grip at the top--not this one!!! This is an Awesome product that will do very well for you!
