The clamp closures keep safe even in the fully extended state with the
patch SLR and telephoto wobbles and flexes nothing.
The rubber foot is 1.6cm thick and prevents slipping on smooth surfaces,
By turning the rubber foot one comes a 0.6cm long metal spike to the fore.
This is best in sandy, earthy or stony ground very well.
On lower ground due to the spike is however very far sunk so that also the rubber
was contaminated with soil, careful with bright clothes who do you then the monopod in hand
hold, cleans the rubber foot with a handkerchief or something, otherwise stains remain insufficient.
The attached wrist strap:
the monopod I have replaced, because it was very very small and thin, with glove size 9 I am
did not get through, but there's every dime store for pennies.
The small wire ring:
where the hand strap was attached to the tripod turned on very easily, it was enough
even the dead weight of the tripod, this I replaced with a small key ring.
The carrying bag:
Made is manufactured in China but made of Cordura and well stitched, the zipper makes a
robust impression and works perfectly so far. The shoulder strap of the bag is 2.5cm wide
and very short fall and not replaceable because firmly sewn to the bag.
