In short: Supergut processed, stable, easy to handle, align with one hand. The ball head holds all amateur SLR with 18 to 300 mm lenses (also the professional class) and remains stable. The terminals are leichtgägnig, but have still a reliable fixation and keep right where they are, even if I think 100 + Kg body times on the "walking stick" rebelling, for an "expert interview" ;-) For the price I seen yet anywhere a comparable good quality and monopod. The Bilora can compete with the large (more expensive) brothers and most Manfrotto. Only the smallest length if it is moved together is a little big for cyclists. With ien few self-made tethers backpack or bike that is also no problem.
