I have used this with my Pyxis 6K... It's Great that you can get a shot, into tight spots without having to go thru the setup tripod. Easy to carry around. Good piece of gear...

Great Monopod

Very nice monopod. Extends and contracts very easily with the hand lever. Further, the base with 3 feet is very nice for overall stability. I have a number of different monopods, and tripods, depending on what I am shooting. The advantages to the Potato Jet Tribex PRO are the 3 feet for support, and ease of vertical extension. I use it a lot at sporting events, when standing or sitting on sidelines, or in the stands. Much easier going into and out of events than lugging a tripod.
