Expensive but quality gear
This stand is super sturdy and well made. The base is super heavy to ensure it won't tip over. It is packaged with a rubber ring around it, and I actually like to keep it on - it makes it easy to roll around. The feet is covered with felt so that it cushions the fall while putting it down. The included strap holder makes it easy to hang anything with a strap on it. I just have three complaints about it. It is overall too expensive for what it is. Quality is great for sure, but I'd like to buy more when I see the price come down for a bit. It is also a bit too shaky when handling cameras on it. For anything else, like lights, it should not be a problem. But I always have to make sure it is stable before recording. The third complaint is that there is no locking mechanism between the monopod and the base. It is a little too easy to twist to loosen the monopod. So in future iterations, I'd like to see some kind of lock to ensure it stays tight. Read more
