SmallRig Carbon Fiber Video Monopod Reviews

Great video monopod!

By Michael J

Love this monopod, extremely versatile with height adjustments and the tilt axis at the feet allow for extra movement in shots. The video head has great movement and super smooth!

Completely broken attachment to the head. A piece that screws into another piece disables the entire tool.

This is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered this thing right before a shoot. Soon as it arrived, it was already broken completely. I don't understand why B&H would sell an item that does not work at all and cannot operate or hold a camera. I want a replacement and a refund.
