Strengths: - It's tough even stretched thoroughly clamps do not move a muscle and a screw system is expected to tighten them if they would fatigue. - The tubes remain perfectly straight. Its construction trust. - The video head NICKEL, tray snaps instead of drag, which is in my opinion an advantage. - The foam serves as grip is nice. - The maximum height of 1m90 if I think is really excellent. - The feet 3 branches is ultimately practical: fully stretched, the monopod standing alone (be careful though). - "MADE IN ITALY": it feels good to fund things built or assembled at home!
Neutral points: - His weight. Not to go on a backpacking. Personally I use to shoot wedding films, I do not have to complain. - A carbon fiber model would be interesting to gain lightness and solidity.
Negative points: - Sometimes a few light touches in the oscillating movements and pano of the ball on the feet (not the video head) when there is weight on the video head or monopod is lying (because of 4 out of 5 stars) .
