Lightweight, good price / quality ratio

This monopod, though aluminum is lighter than most carbon monopods. Hanging on the backpack, it is forgotten.
Its robustness is reasonable for the price. He will not can not be ten years, but is beefier than many entry-monopods, sometimes much more expensive. Section of the locking levers are made of sturdy plastic, but without set screws.
It may be interesting to add to a small monopod clamp for quick mounting plate.

In short it is light, cheap, and strong enough, you do not take too much risk by choosing this model.
