SIRUI Monopod AM-306M, 6-Section Aluminum Alloy Compact Lightweight Portable Large Load Capacity Multi-functional Travel Monopod with Compass Walking Trekking Stick

Una maravilla de Monopie, practico y ligero, muy sencillo de transportar

Lovely monopod! Easy to carry, and set up in a an instant. Very mobile, sleek and the grips on the handles feel great. I used it on a shoot recently and really liked the ease of it all.

Après plusieurs utilisations dans le domaine du sport automobile, je peux affirmer que ce monopode est vraiment excellent !Son dépliage et son repliage sont d'une grande simplicité, il offre une taille suffisante, et sa poignée est particulièrement confortable.Le seul petit inconvénient, c'est qu'il faut bien « forcer » lorsqu’on resserre les crans avant de l'utiliser, car avec des focales lourdes, le monopode a tendance à se replier légèrement.

I already own the am-284 carbon fibre tripod by the same brand, so was confident this would be quality, it has not disappointed - especially considering I purchased with 20% off! Didn't bother with the carbon version of this as the difference is like 80g. Note the 284 tripod has pretty thick legs, and the 306 monopod has similar thickness, way more than I have seen in other monopods, whilst still being light (see comparison image).The legs a thick and solid, it is very sturdy and confidence inspiring, and way more solid than expected for the weight. Collapsed to its smallest size it fits into my F-Stop Ajna side pocket, which is super handy. The foam grip was a slight concern but this is not as cheap feeling as I feared, only time will tell how well it stands up to trekking around the countryside - right now I am confident.I have put a Pentax K3iii with grip, and the D-FA 150-450mm which is about 3.5kg (max) and it feels completely solid. I use a neewer mini fluid head on it and it works a treat. In fact the only time I felt something was not right, it turned out to be a little play in the tripod collar of my 300mm lens.Highly recommended, although someone needs to take a look at the copy writing for Sirui:"Extremely easy to use and compact, expands possibilities of outdoor photography with great convenience.", or "Embrace Maximum Possibilities In Various Applications" and my personal favourite: "Comes with two exquisite mini parts for identifying directions and easy carrying." - exquisite?? Hyperbole is the curse of modern merchandising but this is bordering on nonsense

After going through several of the less expensive monopods on Amazon and being unhappy with the stability or the ability not to slide up and down when locked, I finally looked up what model my local high end camera shop carries and found this one. I’ve been using this one for half of the soccer season and it’s been a treat. I use a Canon 7D Mark II and a Sigma 150-600mm lens which is quite heavy. The monopod has never slipped and compacts quite nicely.
