AVELLAA324D Aluminum 67 Inch Video Monopod 4 Section with Tripod Feet Compatible for DSLR Camera Camcorder

I love this monopod. The feet are much longer than any other footed monopod I know of, so it's unusually stable when you have the monopod extended to full height. The locking mechanism at the base is quicker and easier to lock into place than the Manfrotto Xpro5, which I also own. Although I love this tripod I'll probably need to return it because the flip locks are extremely stiff. I think people with younger hands will not have a problem opening and closing them but they're going to be too stiff for me to use. All in all, this tripod is a great value.Update: Since I reviewed this I've tried it out more. I still believe it's a great value but I discovered that the red collar at the base does not stay tight after you've screwed it down. It still provides plenty of drag or resistance but I would not put a heavy full frame DSLR on top of it and then take my hands completely off the camera.

It comes with a felt bag for the feet and a slim monopod bag that is so small it is useless. Monpod bags need to fit the entire unit and leave space at the top for a head to fit. What's the use in getting a compact monopod if you have to lug around3 bags, one for legs one for stick and one for heat. I have an Avella monopod that is not as compact but the bag meets all these basic requirements. Fix the bag and this monopod is probably a 5 star if the joints hold up to regular use.

I love this Monopod. Best value for the money so far. This also doubles as my vlogging TRIpod thanks to the screw-on tripod feet (which is also super handy when you need a super shoot tripod, since it’s removable). This Monopod is light, Easy to use, is very stable for free standing (at least with my light a6400 and sigma 16mm), great value, and looks great!

Great tripod! I use it with my Insta360 x2 to do Matterport photography for real estate. It is awesome! Sturdy, lightweight, and great adjustability.

It’s heavy, but beautiful, not very sturdy, I wanted to love it, but on second trip out filming the bearings came loose in the ball head. What a pile of garbage. I feel betrayed because it’s a beautiful pile of junk
