"I recently went on a four day tour on a tundra buggy in Churchill Manitoba to photograph the Polar Bears and being this was my second trip I knew I needed a stable platform for my Canon 500mm lense mounted on my Canon 5D.

"A little expensive, but you get what you pay for. Using it with RSS MH-01 (Hi-Capacity Monopod Head)and their B2-Pro II clamp. I was a little worried about capacity, but have no problem with stability even if I use it with my Nikon 200-400mm f/4 lens mounted on a Nikon D-300 with battery pack. It …"  Read Full Review »

"One of the reason that I bought this monopod was because it is light and durable, at the concerts or events holding 40D with 70-200mm/2.8 IS for some time was getting exhausting for me, my arms got tired and I missed some great shots... Now that I have it, I don't know how I went by without it... …"  Read Full Review »

"I traded up to this carbon fiber Gitzo from my Manfrotto aluminum monopod. The Manfrotto was very good, but the Gitzo carbon fiber is that much better-lighter, more compact and thinner because of the twist closures instead of the Manfrotto clamp closures. I use it for sports photography with a Nik …"  Read Full Review »

Gitzo GM2541 Series 2 Mountaineer Carbon Fiber Monopod, Maximum Height 63" Review

Light, strong and (very) useful

★★★★★
5.0

    Pros

  • Easy to OpenClose
  • Light Weight
  • Sturdy

    Cons

  • None

    Best Uses

  • With big lenses
 

"My previous monopod though good, is too long and heavy to be consider compact. Gitzo 2541 6X monopod gives me the sturdy feel, and very secure with big lenses. The folded length and weight are negligible, and the belt clip that comes with it is of brilliant yet simple design that works! "
