The Manfrotto 290 Carbon Fiber Monopod extends from 19.3 to 59.4", can hold up to 22 lb, and weighs just 1.1 lb. Flip locks allow you to adjust the four sections, and a reversible 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mount lets you attach an optional head or a camera directly to the monopod. A rubber grip and a wrist strap provide comfort and a secure hold.

I've been a Manfroto fan for many years, so I expected nothing less than great quality when I ordered the 290 Carbon Fiber Monopod. Four section monopod collapses to a convenient length yet expands with plenty of height. I especially like the cam lock levers that make for quick, easy and secure adjustment, a feature I appreciate on my Manfrotto tripod as well.
The only thing I would change is the foot is not interchangeable with 3 legs or a spike, and its a simple rubber non slip which works extremely well
