Don't use monopods much and I have to admit that this gets more use as a walking stick then a monopod. However, when I want some support for a shot, they quickly go from a walking stick to a monopod by unscrewing the top cap. The 4 section legs extend to just the right height for me being 5'11, sorry for the over 6 footers, you may need to bend a little bit. Like I stated at the beginning I use this as a walking stick a lot. They are fairly light weight for the build quality which is really nice. They have a nice foam grip with a wrist band, The top that comes off to expose the camera mount has a compass on top which comes in handy just to look down at as you're trekking through the forest. I do a lot of hiking in the Ozarks and trails and non-trails get a little tricky to navigate and using the MeFOTO WalkAbout has become a regular part of my hiking equipment. Infact, this is my first one and I bought another one almost immediately after receiving my first one. The rubber foot can be replaced with a medal foot or spike. My rubber one is showing a lot of abuse so a replacement foot will be soon in the making.

For the price (on sale), this is the best walking stick for the money. It's so good, I ordered two this time. My first one got stolen out of my shopping cart. If you can get it on sale and nothing comes close. I bought the Magnus MHA-01 Monopod Handle Adapter, which turns this into a excellent walking stick. I didn't buy this for the camera monopod, just a walking stick. The pink color isn't my first choice, but for the price I couldn't pass it up.
Better than expected

This walking/photo stick is very sturdy and well built. Light enough to carry yet heavy enough to feel secure - and even use it as a weapon during walking (hopefully you'll never need to). Totally height adjustable. I did try my Panasonic f1000 camera on it and it did hold it securely, as I was worried about the short bolt in the top.
Works well...

Sturdy but light, screws onto camera quickly, stable. Would be great if there was a fast way to extend when needed. I left it connected to my camera on a hike this week. The foam collar was a comfortable way to carry both, but of course made it useless as a walking stick. And made me carry the compass ball in my pocket :-) Practical as a walking stick or monopod, unless you're willing to spend a minute or two every time you want to switch functions.
sturdy and versatile product

Like this because can use this as an adjustable walking stick due to balance/support issues plus able to screw on a camera for taking pictures and if want to can use an optional stand / platform
Good walking around monopod

I have a crop sensor camera and 50mm or wider lenses so not much weight. It's just right for my gear plus I get a walking stick out of it, ta boot.

Will the Benro B2 Double Action Ballhead fit the item?
The male mounting thread on the MeFoto WalkAbout is smaller in size than the female threading on the B2 Double Action ballhead. We do sell an adapter bushing so that you may then mount the head onto the monopod. See the link below for details on the adapter bushing:http://bhpho.to/P15Lox

question
Base for mefoto monopod? Anybody know of any bases that are compatible with the MeFoto monopod? I love this monopod, but would love to add a base so that while hiking I can use it with additional support.
I just got the Bestshoot Desktop Mini Tripod. It works as a table top tripod and as a base for this monopod.
