I have a Nikon D80 for use with this monopod. With the camera body and a 28-105 lens the monopod left unstable and I was not very comfortable using it. With the D80 and a 70-300 lens (the reason I bought this) the bottom two sections of the monopod did not have the clamping strength to stay extended. I used this for one day of shooting and gave up. Low quality for a low price. I have looked around at local retailers and I have found a couple options of better quality for lower prices.

The thing is completely useless. Within 1st 2 minutes of use I nearly dropped my camera twice. The 'quick release' is too quick. It has a release button that sticks far away out. The chance of not hiting it when you operate your camera is very low. When you hit it it comes right away out. I was fortunate I had my camera on a sholder strip at the same time - lucky me. Just a waist of money.

This product was very practical and easy to use. It allows use for any still or video camera that has a camera mount. A special mount is also included if you wanted to use the monopod to take a camera phone picture. We purchased this item because we planned to go to a very crowded event and needed a way to take video footage from above the heads of others in the crowd. Our video camera has a remote control so that we could still focus and frame the shot. It also has a side panel view finder that tilts downward so that allows us to properly aim the video anywhere by holding up the monopod.
