Rocketfish 70"" Carbon Fiber Monopod

"I use this alot for wildlife and sports.The monopod is great strong easy to extend and once tightened it well not slip.The head on the other hand well not stay tight.I use it with a canon 50D with a canon 70-200 f2.8 is lens.When I tighten the head it comes loose in about three min."

"The Ball Head on this monopod is very high quality. I use the head on this monopod and my heavy duty tripod. It can easily support my Canon 60D =1.7lb with battery grip = .6lb and Sigma (or bigma as it is nicknamed) 50-500mm EX DG 4.1lb, a 6.4lb setup. It is has a sturdy metal plate with a screw type clamp. The ball can lock tight or be left slightly loose to adjust and leave as well as a full cutout to pivot head 90 degrees to the side. The monopod is very light and easy to use but as stated in a previous review can be a bit wobbly when fully extended. The likelihood of using a 70 monopod fully extended is between slim and none, possibly for hillside setup but thats about it. This monopod is on my camera backpack at all times and makes a great walking stick on unforgiving terrain. But all in all I would have paid this price for the head alone!"

"I purchased it for taking along on walks/hikes in the hills where my tripod would get too heavy. I have had this for a couple weeks and so far it has done fine."

"An impressive monopod for the money! The included ballhead is functional if not a bit clunky and comes w/ a (proprietary) quick release plate. The mount surface (of the monopod) features both a 1/4 and 3/8 inch screw. It is rather lightweight and collapeses to a very workable length that easily fits in my travel duffel. Build quality seems very good. My only (possible) concern is the ease of replacement of the rubber foot when it wears out- it seems to be attached permanently."
