Best Carbon Fiber Monopod

By Kimberly
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-10-08

This Gitzo Carbon Fiber Monopod is light, easy to use and is excellent. Using this Monopod has been so successful when photographing.

works but poor value

Chose this over Sirui because of rebate and it was a bit shorter; I wanted the smaller size.  Mine does not wobble but the bottom leg does not inspire confidence, but its been trouble free.  Compared to my Sirui tripod the Sirui is a bit smoother and I like the feel of the locks better.  If you could live with the extra 1.5 of the Sirui I would recommend that one as a better value.

question

Is there a small tripod-type foot that can be screwed into the bottom of the Gitzo GM2562T Series 2 Travelor Carbon Fiber Monopod. If yes is it a 1/4- or 3/8-inch screw receptor?
Asked by: Nancy S.
You can also use the DocZ2 from 3 Legged Thing. It fits well.
