Nice Piece, Heavy

Fit and finish is great on this monopod, and while it’s larger than I imagined, it’s exactly the same as posted measurements so that’s entirely on me. It’s got a little wobble to it (monopod, duh) that makes a trigger necessary for lower light shots, but it is very stable. My only big gripe is that it weighs equal or more than my full size Benro tripod with ball head, so it’s not any more practical to carry.

Yes, the SmallRig Carbon Fiber Photography Monopod (65.6") has the instant One-Touch Height Adjustment: Effortlessly set the perfect height from 68cm to 166cm with one hand. This is similar to the SmallRig Tribex X-Clutch Hydraulic Technology.
