Title: Wow!!! Just wow
Review: If your looking for a super sturdy super well built monopod you my friend have found it. Simply put for the price I have no idea how you could beat it. Heck price point or not IDK how you beat it. Super nice long grip and firm locking mechanisms. Not to mention both 3/8 as well as 1/4 threading that is interchangeable on the same single piece making it compatible with anything I can think of. I’m 5’8 on a good day and it goes up to my working height without having to retract the smallest bottom leg making it even more rugged for hikes. Heaven forbid you have to use it to defend yourself but if you had to it would be a very bad day for them. It turns into what is basically a 4 foot long nightstick. Lol. 100% approved

Title: What are you looking for?? camera mount or walking stick?
Review: We purchased this monopole partly for the walking stick function… my wife walks with a cane because of instability and I thought this would be sturdy to use as cane and for pictures on a road trip. Unfortunately, the plastic handle has a threaded coupler that screws into the end and then that screws onto a multi-threaded rod that attaches it to the pole. This threaded rod has a smaller thread on one end for attaching to a camera. The thread on the plastic hand is too fine of a thread so it stripped incredibly easy which caused the handle to be loose most of the time.To be honest, the camera use was fine. The adjustable length of the pole worked great and the spiked bottom was an unexpected necessity for soft and gravel ground. I gave this an overall 4 stars, only losing a star because of the poor design for the added on handle for walking stick use.I modified this by drilling thru the plastic, coupler, and threaded rod and added a roll pin. That made this so secure my wife is now using it as a cane instead of her other lightweight cane. I turned the threaded rod upside down so that the camera mount can still be used but of course I would need to pull the roll pin to turn it over. Otherwise, this is a very well-built monopole.

Title: Stable and sturdy enough to use as a cane!
Review: I bought this as an experiment. I need a cane now (lookin’ at you, Long Covid) and I wanted one to which I could easily attach things to free up my hands as I move around the house. This looked promising, because it had a cane-style handle, and two attach points that would connect to anything that used 3/4″-14 or 1/4″-20 (standard photography) screws.Short version? IT WORKS. The twist-locks are secure, and the cane will take as much weight as I’ve been able to put on it. I suspect the only reason the product description doesn’t say “will work as a cane” is because a cane is a medical device, and those require very expensive testing/certification. But I digress…In the brown-cabinet photo the only after-market attachment is the Cane Minder. Everything else shipped with the Manbily Monopod, including the clamp for my phone.In the white-wall photo I have attached LOTS of after-market stuff. Of note, I swapped in a double-ball-and-socket magnetic mount for my phone, and a water bottle clamp which happens to be the perfect size for a 12-oz soda can. THESE DIDN’T COME WITH IT, but they attach fine, and make this monopod my walking stick/cane of choice around the house.I’ve been using it for two weeks now, and I’ve only gotten it to slip once. On that occasion I had adjusted it and had failed to fully secure the uppermost twist-clamp. When I tightened it the rest of the way it took my weight with no problems.

Title: Big and Fat With Rubbery Grip
Review: Not a fan of twist locks, but this is a solid mono, it doesn’t slip, droop or creep with a Nikkor 600mm f/4 pushing 12lbs down on it. But I like their 32mm version even better. This was the 28mm. Black Friday price of $37 was a steal!! AND WHY does everyone make these with wrist straps? Ever try it? You get bruised and beaten as they flop around. Get a monopod holster, and you’ll be cutting off that worthless wrist strap on day one. Enjoy…

Title: Held together by glue, that comes apart in humid conditions
Review: I used this for one week in Central America, taking nature photos, and it fell apart. The parts with the thread, for tightening the monopod at preferred height, are held on by glue, which a very low quality design. Once they had been in humid conditions for a week, the glue failed and the threads became detached, so the the monopod just fell into pieces. Unfortunately, I bought this well ahead of my trip so my return window had closed, otherwise I would have requested by money back due to a faulty product. I don’t generally write reviews, but I thought the least I could do was warn others about this low quality product.

Review: Las imágenes del anuncio son bastante ajustadas a la realidad, así que no hace mucha falta adjuntar muchas fotos.El bastón-monopié está bastante conseguido, pero hay “cositas” que lo alejan de la perfección.Como bastón se puede utilizar, pero hay que tener la precaución de apretar MUCHO las zonas que decidas extender. Si no las aprietas con todas tus ganas, al echar el peso completo de una persona, ceden, y el bastón se pliega.La duda es cuánto tiempo aguantarán esos cierres apretando tanto… se verá.Como monopié el muy versátil y bastante ligero.La punta inferior se puede desenroscar, dejando lugar a un espacio para un tornillo de 3/8. Si tienes una base de trípodes con esa rosca, puede ponerla ahí y convertir en monopié en un trípode básico.Los materiales se ven de calidad, aunque los plásticos siempre generan algo de desconfianza ¿serán de los que se vuelven pegajosos pasados unos años? El tiempo lo dirá.En la zona superior hay un tornillo allen (trae su llave y todo), que no tiene utilidad aparente. Si lo quitas, te deja un hueco de tornillo de 1/4, que te sirve para montar una segunda cámara, un flash, o cualquier cosa similar.PROBLEMAS:Para mí, el mayor problema es el tornillo superior, el que se supone que debería estar mejor trabajado. Resulta que no tiene ningún tipo de tope, es decir, lo puedes enroscar en el monopié sin límites, y si te descuidas lo metes del todo y te desaparece dentro.Tampoco hay límite de rosca en el mango para bastón, así que te puede ocurrir exactamente lo mismo.Esto dificulta, mucho, enroscar el bastón correctamente. No sabes si has metido mucha rosca en el mango, o poca, o demasiada en la base, o poca… es imposible.Para colocar rótulas, cámaras y demás, recomiendo poner primero el tornillo en el accesorio que se quiera montar, apretar, y después poner en el monopie. Si lo haces al contrario, corres el serio riesgo de estar enroscando el tornillo más profundo en el palo, y que la cámara apenas pille rosca, con la posibilidad de caída/susto.Es bastante difícil de entender cómo se les ha pasado por alto un detalle tan básico en el diseño: bastaba con poner un tope en la rosca!Tiene otros detalles mejorables, como que las roscas de extensión tampoco tienen tope, y si las sacas del todo se te desmonta el palo. No es grave, volver a montarlo es sencillo, y aprendes rápido que no hace falta desenroscar mucho para aflojar y extender… pero, leches, también se arreglaba con algo tan simple como otro tope en las roscas.De la durabilidad hablaré en unos meses, después de ponerlo a prueba.

Review: La raison principale de cet achat était un bon bâton de marche. Quelque chose qu’on peut se fier dessus. Quand je vue arriver la chose, j’ai trouvé ça un peu gros au début mais je l’ai aligné avec l’autre bâton de marche que j’avais bon un peu plus gros C’est un petit peu plus pesant mais cela m’aide à ma stabilité et la confiance de marché. Je suis finalement très heureux de cet achat. Pour la recommandation, je vous laisse évaluer selon vos besoins. C’est un choix personnel. Le produit de très bonne qualité. Je ne sais pas où on je vais trouver les embouts de silicone de remplacement.
