Prolite Professional Heavy Duty Monopod with Dual Mount Thread Adapter (1/4Inch and 3/8Inch) | Italian Flip Locks | Rubber Grip | Upto 5Kg Payload, Black

Too heavy... However then the design is to support great weight upto 10kg!! Strong built, definitely not light to carry. The weight helps in stabilizing the camera well though. I feel there are much better options than this in the market, but at this price point, it is best to have. I m yet to try this product more extensively, only then I will be able to tell. For a start, a good product.

I like the product but packaging was not good. Not properly packaged. Inside Box was open and Amazon box was somehow tapped. This monopod is is very strong it's rod are of metal and due to that it's weight is not suitable for selfie purposes, so be aware if you are going to buy this for selfie purpose. It is purely and perfect for tripod stand type use. Quality is very good. But I got some scratches in this monopod which I am little disappointed by the seller. You can see the pictures. Overall it is value for money and strong monopod.

Nice product thatz why choose Amazon

Worth the money

It has solid build quality, though haven't checked yet what's the material is whether alloy, iron or what, but its not pure alluminium as its too heavy to keep it handy during travels. It can't be put in small luggage for sure as its minimum folded size is also big not even can carry in the camera backup so you'll have to always hold it in a hand, so think again if you're planning to carry it with limited luggage like air travel or so. Apart from that all plastics (locks) and metal parts are of very good quality will last for a very long time.

On opening the Amazon platic bag I found the cardbox to be opened from one side. The monopod was halfway out, with the camera plate broken. I would request for a refund. The only reason I bought this with paid next day deliver was so that I could have it for my trip to capture videos for the ministry (media work) and now I won't be able to take it. I would like a refund so I can buy digitek because they are always trustable. Considering I will be going for the trip broken hearted I might as well wait a little longer for a good quality monopod.

Good monopod. A bit heavy but sturdy. Can be converted into a strong selfie stick with a 1/4'' to 1/4'' screw adapter, a ball head, and a phone holder. Not waterproof. Can easily hold a full-size DSLR with a standard-size lens, if you have a strong monopod head.

I was looking for a tripod / monopod to support a 300 mm tele lens. A cheap aluminium tripod I already have does not have the stability to hold a heavy telephoto lens. So I started looking for a stronger monopod. This monopod is solid and claims to hold up to 10kg. It is sturdy to hold the tele lens. Now I have decided to use the existing shaky tripod for the flash. Prolite monomod is great value for money. Under Rs. 900, you don't expect it to offer what a Rs. 9000 imported tripod or monopod will. The overall structure is strong. Finish is so so. The rubber grip is loose. The metal is strong, but the plastic clamps look a bit ordinary. But I am not looking for a monopod that will last a lifetime. I am looking for something that is cheap and good. So I give it five stars. On its own, the product is self sufficient. However, I attached a ball head. It works well. On a 300 telephoto for birding, I would need 1/500 of a second handheld shots. With this monopod I can go as slow as 340th of a second to get a much steadier shot than 1/500. I am not a pro. If you are an amateur with little money, go for it. If you are a pro or an amateur loaded with cash, buy the imported stuff. Don't buy fake Indian stuff with the foreign brand. This is at least, proudly Indian, not fake.
