I have tested this monopod because I already Delamax WT-1003 have and am not particularly happy with this. First surprise after unpacking: It looks like my demonized. Placed side by side and compared - absolutely identical. The same grip foam. Small hand strap on the head. Identical terminals at the foot piece. Identical parts in the foot for foot rubber / metal tip. So why now 5 stars, where I am not satisfied with the Delamax ?! Simply because the "errors" have been fixed. The thread for the camera mount is cut here and clean the threaded pin is truly perpendicular to the platen. Secondly, the terminals are designed for the length adjustment fixed now, so that the tripod does not suddenly retracts during use. Now they are almost too tight already. But better that way than the other way around!
All in all, I was convinced the tripod. With my Tamron 70-300 without image stabilizer I have very good and especially blur-photos shot at dusk. I would buy it again and would recommend it for beginners only.
