SmallRig x Potato Jet TRIBEX PRO Monopod Reviews

Not as sturdy as expected

Out of the box, the base of the monopod had some play like it wasn’t secure, likely by design for the x clutch.

Great monopod

Great monopod. Easy to use, it stands very firm with my FX3. It’s almost like a tripod. One quick thing I wish they change. Using a ronin is a bit of a pain. You have to unscrew the round head-fluid plate then screw it to ronin handle. It takes time and it’s not as easy/fast as I’d hope to. They should include a 2nd round adapter so I can have 2 of them. one for the fluid-head and one ready to go for my ronin.
