IFOOTAGE Cobra 3 A180T Monopod, 71" Aluminum Travel Monopod with Feet, Telesc...

First, the awesome. Highest quality and construction. Foot can be easily detached to make a simple monopod. Not only that, but the foot has a built in ball head so it can be tilted and leveled as needed. 2 sections expand to provide the perfect hight (I'm 5'8"). Great looking. Has a wrist strap to use as a walking stick. Important to know is that the quick release plate at the top is sturdy and works perfectly but is completely non-standard on the monopod side. On the other side, it has a 1/4" and 3/8" screw and must be screwed onto the camera (or whatever). Once screwed on, the camera can't be put onto a standard Arca Swiss clamp anymore. The obvious solution is to screw the non-standard quick release plate onto a small ball head. That, you'll have to have as none is included. Other than that, I highly recommend this monopod.

This product is unbelievably durable and sturdy. The stability is so great and the adjustability makes it so easy! It’s very light and versatile.

At first I was going to rate it 2 stars because it was missing the head but I reach out and got replacement really fast awesome customer service, I love the product that’s exactly what I want. Will definitely buy again!

First off, the monopod works as advertised. It is solid, matches everything I have seen on YouTube and the description on the manufacturers website. It is a bit on the heavy side. Not that big of a con if you're only carrying the monopod. The feet are sturdy and I like the way they audibly lock into place. The pivot ball on the bottom allows for a nice range of movements and has decent friction adjustability so it's not super loose or hard locked in place. The quick release is something new for me. I really like the thought process that went into this, sometimes you need to do things quickly, and that qr will come in handy. Typically I shoot marching band photos for my son's high school band. I have been free handing for while, and I have worsening shoulder issues and this will help me with that. So now for the double stickers. This is how it came out of the box, I did call the manufacturer and confirmed it is indeed a Cobra 3. Why it shipped with double stickers is a mystery. I don't like shady nonsense when it comes to my hard earned money.

I absolutely love this monopod! It is quick to set-up with the quick release fittings for the camera and the bottom of the pole. You do need a head for adjusting angle shots and if you use the tilt function. It is very sturdy. Much more than I expected. I can't wait to take it on my trip later this year.

Works great!

Really wanted to like this item. It seemed well built and well thought out. However I could not get the quarter inch sleeve off to expose the 3/8 threads to actually connect my camera to it. At the start of a holiday weekend where we planned to use it this was a huge problem and customer support from the company was nowhere to be seen. I had to send them an email through their website and no response after three days.

Absolutely love the versatility of this thing. It’s replaced my tripod.

I love this monopod. I've tried various monopods, but this one is by far the best. It stands on its own holding a Canon r5c with a grip and cage, with a Sigma 150-600 without problem.

Amazing product, amazing quality, very sturdy, really well built. Doesn't compare to any other monopods at this price point, and I've tried a couple. Love the bag it comes with. You get great value for your money, and I can tell this will last me years. Don't hesitate, just get it, totally worth it

So good i bought a second one!

Well built, easy to use, just a great monopod with the added tripod.

The adjustment grips are annoying, can slip if not cranked down, and are time consuming trying to constantly figure out which way is tighten. The plastic protector on the bottom will fall off the first chance you take this out of the house. And the lower dial to set the base tension has a stupidly small knob that requires constant adjusting for the right pressure. I'm outside my return window otherwise they would be going back. It does work fairly well if you can get over all of the design flaws. But is quite heavy. So, 1.5 stars
