Worth the money over the generic ones.

Can't think of anything I would change -- I love it!
This is great! Super convenient. I've been using a Sirui P-326 monopod for some time, and it's also top-notch in quality. But the convenience of having just three thumb levers instead of the four screw adjusters on the Sirui makes a huge difference. The weight is about the same, and it seems to be plenty sturdy enough. Very pleased with it. Manfrotto is the best in tripods, hands down.

Perfect for quick action
I found myself struggling to capture quick action shots and keep them in perfect focus. I'm in my mid 60's and eyesight is not what it used to be (duh). This monopod is lightweight and easy to cart to the athletic fields. A simple two action process gets it ready to go. I didn't want the ones with feet since many other reviews complained about moving the camera through tall or artificial grass. My only complaint is that this one has a stationary connection and it doesn't allow me to go from landscape to portrait shots.

Since when is Leofoto a Manfrotto?
I bought this for my son who goes hiking. I have a couple of Manfrotto products. They both say MANFROTTO.I looked up Leofoto and nowhere does it indicate that they are related in anyway to Manfrotto.I don’t think my Manfrotto products are made in China either.Not even the same model numbers.Returning it today.Make sure you check the brand when you get it.

Good Monopod but not a trekking pole
When coupled with quick connect plate it works well but rubber foot didn' t last 5 miles as a trekking pole. Lightweight. It would be a good trekking pole if a durable foot was attached.

High quality monopod
I had an old monopod that required you twist individual sections to lock through clamping pressure. They would inevitably be locked too tight on one section or too loose on another and it would collapse. The clamps used on each leg telescoping section are just so greately superior.I would not call it light at all. I use it for sports photography with my Canon 7d Mark II with a EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II. It works great and allows me to go from standing to sitting very quickly at track and field events.This is an update as of 4/11/19. I still think this is a great monopod. The camera support needs have increased as it is now supporting an old 300mm EFL prime lens. It does not slip. Spend the money and get a good one.

This is a tank!!
This thing is built like a tank!! I needed a monopod before the weekend, well I wanted one for awhile but now I had a reason to get one. I saw this one and thought I’d give it a shot, if it was wimpy I’d either send it back or toss it in the back of my closet. I was surprised at how beefy this is, no frills just a 1/4 X 20 screw on top and a rubber foot. I can tell it’s honing to last a long time.
