The monopod's foam grip prevents your hands from feeling cold during the winter months, and a wrist strap adds security from losing your grip. The included belt clip allows you to carry the support on your belt while traveling. A spike extends out by retracting the foot, so the monopod stabilizes on ice, rocks, or softer terrain.

Cheap plastic connections

I have purchased two of these and they both have broken in less than 6 months. The plastic in between the sections snapped as I was extending it. Do not recommend for sports photography.

Light, sturdy and easy !

I have others but this is the best mono pod I've seen. Very easy to expand and collapse. Light weight and perfect for my needs. Great assistance from the staff......earning my loyalty to B&H.

I was looking for a lightweight monopod to travel with and this product met all the boxes. It is light weight yet very strong with a small travel footprint. The spike on the leg made it useful in taking outdoor photography. Very satisfied with the product at a very reasonable cost.

Great Support for Heavy Lens

I've not had the monopod very long. I was a handheld bird shooter with the very light Nikon 500 PF. Having recently purchased the Z800 which weighs a bit more, this monopod was recommended by a friend. I will be using it pretty often

Lightweight and rigid. Just what the doctor ordered.

Lightweight, rigid, easy to deploy and make small again. The carrying bag and belt hook are icing on the cake.

Lightweight Monopod

This is a very well constructed monopod that is lightweight due to the carbon fiber construction. The six sections result in a compact unit that is easy to carry. The insulated handle works well in cold weather.

Flimsy

Tried this with my Nikon D6 with 400mm f2.8 lens. It was a nice set up and easy to extend and retract. However the camera kept moving around on the base which made it unstable shooting soccer. Also between each extension the monopod felt flimsy or weak. Definitely not heavy duty for sports. But good light weight monopod for light duty photography

Could a gimbal head be used with this monopod? I was hoping to find something for travel to use with my Canon 100-400mm lens and a Gimbal head. Thank you.
Asked by: Sonja
Yes a gimbal head would be compatible with the Oben CTM-2600 monopod. It has a standard 3/8-16 mount and most gimbals mount to a tripod or monopod using a 3/8-16.
