Amazon Basics 67-Inch Monopod, Black

Great value. Telescopic leg seems very sturdy. Could be used as a walking stick I think… just collapse the bottom section as it’s the weakest, but keep in mind the screw doesn’t come with any kind of cover so it will be exposed if you don’t do something about it. The screw itself doesn’t look to be the highest grade and the plastic part around it that spins seems pretty cheap but overall both seem functional. Putting a ball head on this, as I intend to do, lessens these concerns. The wrist strap is also cheap but certainly holds the stick’s weight and more. You might want to replace it with something better if you plan to use it as a walking stick.These are my initial observations. Time will tell on durability so I can’t speak to that yet. Overall, I am very happy with this for the money I spent. It’s a smoking deal on sale.

Monopod is tall enough that I don't need to bend over to use it. Supports my telephoto lens for slower exposures.

i mean its the cheapest garbage you could possibly buy from a "name brand" so for that being the bar its pretty good. would not buy another but for $17 kinda cant go wrong given its cheap to replace when i break it as opposed to other options. one of the clips is already less grippy than the others out of the box.

works great.

So much easier to take pictures with the stick,,,

Item was light weight, easy to extend and balance the camera on.

This gives me the edge I need with 12x binoculars for extended viewing,it’s light and the lever lock is quick and easy smooth. U just can’t beat it for the price. Great for hiking, birding. Works for me.My tri pod ( cheap) at $100. Is much heavier. I hope it lasts for at least a few years. I imagine an expensive mono would hold the bino just the same

This is a good stick with the exception of the tip. The rubber/metal tip can not be replaced. I have not found a cane or chair rubber tip that will fit over the current configuration. It looks like it is pinned to the shaft. I will use this stick until the rubber wears out and then figure out how to cover the metal tip to keep the walking stick feature. If this tip style ruins a hardwood floor, it may see a hacksaw sooner than later.
