This thing is crazy sturdy. If you’re ever taking photos in a sketchy place, this can double as a self-defense weapon

I use these for fire prevention inspection. Documentation reports. The quality is good enough and will last you certainly more than a year or so. The clips that hold the pools extended do we’re out in time. What do you want for $21! I have purchased a half a dozen of these over my years of inspecting. Order two of them and you’ll be set for a long time.

While my camera takes hand-held photos well, from time to time, I like to use a monopod to further stabilize the camera. This one is great.

Sometimes a camera gets a bit heavy when it's held to your eye and you're waiting for the perfect shot. So I bought this to help when I went to watch and photograph the Sandhill Crane migration here in New Mexico. I love how easy it is to adjust the height. So I can stand--or sit down--and keep the camera at the perfect level. It also helps keep the camera steady so I have sharper shots. Sat on a half-wall the other day, poised with my camera on the end of this "stick", and waited for some coyotes to come by. Got the shot I was hoping to get...without trying to hold the camera still for 20 minutes while the coyotes took their time arriving. Folds up small--and is so lightweight that I wondered if it would be effective--but it is.

I bought this to use filming my daughters basketball games. Sometimes the bleachers get pretty full in our small gym and setting up a tripod taking up 3-4 seats isn't always possible. Hand held phone video was always shaky and hard to watch. So, I started looking for alternatives and found this.It allows me to keep my phone relatively still while still having the flexibility to move around if I need to. It's taken my wife's video skills up quite a few notches. The video is no longer shaky and she has the ability to tilt and reposition if necessary.The bottom has a rubber foot that can be screwed in out revealing a sharp metal tip that can be stuck in the ground if you wanted it outside. The rubber foot covers the tip when inside. It's a really cool design. I'd buy it again.

Maybe not as steady as a tripod..but 100 time better than hand held. Works will with built in stabilization for crisp pictures using my Canon Elph 180 in my senior years.

It works great to take photos/videos, e.g. for my child's soccer games. Easy to carry around, except the carrying bag is not big enough for an additional phone bracket/adaptor (purchased separately). I can still zip it up partially, allowing part of the adaptor to stick out. Something for the seller to improve on.

I wanted a (comparatively) tall monopod but reviews on this and similar items complain about the 1/4-20 camera mount popping or twisting off. As soon as this kf concept Basic arrived I installed a 1/4-20 coupling nut - see photo - and gave it a couple good yanks. it didn't budge. I don't think I'd want to wave it around with a 2000mm tele attached, but it seems adequate for my amateur use. I got what I paid for.
