Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kodak 68" "Go Anywhere" Professional Monopod for Digital Cameras & CamcordersCustomer Review: Lazy Stick Summary: 5 Stars
One of the cheapest monopods, I'm happy with this purchase. It's nice to have my camera mounted to something and somewhat suspended in front of me. Also, if there's a railing or something sturdy to prop it against, a monopod can dramatically increase stability.
The grip has a nice firm feel to it. The latches won't hold a great deal of weight (if I lean into it significantly they begin to slide), but when using it outside I didn't notice at all. When it does start to slip, it does so pretty smoothly which is nice; there's no harsh scraping. I did take off the strap right away. It's a keychain with a string on it. The bag it comes with is pretty thin, but it's stretchy, black, and has a drawstring. I've been using it because it's slightly less noticeable than the uncovered silver monopod.
Supports my Canon 30D with the 70-200 f4, a Giottos ball head, and my two hands on the camera with no problem.
I've only used one other monopod, I think it was a Sima, similar price range, and I do think I prefer this one. The only disadvantage: the one I used before had a flexible foam top which was actually quite useful; this one will require a head of some sort if you want to change your angle without too much rearranging.
