The Oben CTM-2500 5-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod is an extremely lightweight yet sturdy one-legged camera support that enables you to capture steady shots without needing to carry or set up a full tripod.

Maximum height is 65", which facilitates comfortable operation for almost all users.

The CTM-2500 is composed of 6x carbon fiber to achieve its light weight, while ensuring its stability. It can bear loads up to 26 lb, so you can mount any DSLR camera with almost any lens, a point & shoot model, or even a full-sized camcorder.

For fine control over camera orientation, you can also attach a head to the monopod's reversible 3/8"-16 & 1/4"-20 mounting screw. Three set screws underneath the collar enable you to fasten the head securely to the plate. An Allen key is included & attached to the top leg section, so you're always ready to make adjustments.

The five-section monopod collapses to just 17.3", so you can stow it in almost any carry-on bag. At only 1.05 lb, it's the perfect travel companion – lightweight, compact, and simple to operate – but highly capable and ready in an instant to help you capture the perfect shot.

can this also be used, successfully, as a walking stick?
Asked by: nick
NIck: I have seen people use a tree limb of a walking stick so I assume you are asking if it would be a good replacement for or equal to a say a Komperdell walking stick. For me it would depend on how much hiking you do and whether or not your are taking photographs as you hike. As an avid hiker, backpacker and photographer I would put the monopod in my pack and pick up my pair of Komperdell sticks and use the monopod for what it was made for when I was taking pictures. Bob

question

Can this monopod also be used as a walking stick?
Asked by: Anonymous
I wouldn't recommend using this as a walking stick unless the situation demands it. The design of this monopod and the carbon fiber materials are not intended for the type of strain to be put on it such that one would commonly apply and count on applying to a walking stick. If you are just wanting to carry it to move the occasional stone or ward off a stray dog it would be fine.
