Seems durable, good mount on top for, in my case, very large binoculars and a Y bracket for use as a shooting stick. I'd give it 5 stars, but the hand grip is loose, of poor quality, and is unusable. I'll end up taping or replacing it.

I was worried it would be a cheap and weak monopod for the price of under $20 but I was pleasantly surprised that it very strong yet very light. This is a great monopod!

I do a lot of wildlife photography and when trying to get the right shot of birds you end up standing around a lot. The heavy cameras can be a bit much on old hands and wrists but this monopod takes the weight Sony RX10 easily. Some monopod reviews talk about weak connectors that fail to hold the camera safely but this one seems plenty tough. I like the lever action releases instead of the twist models, and as a tall fellow I really like the extension available on this model - plenty of length for me even if shooting on a side hill where the foot is below me. The combo foot with steel peg or rubber pad is handy for different surfaces. It packs easily to a compact size that will fit my backpack, and it is plenty sturdy for use as a walking stick. Excellent value in my book.

I like the ease of use. I use the monopod for quick setup when an unexpected situation happens that I want to capture on film.
