Benro MAD49C Adventure Series 4 Carbon Fiber Monopod

I purchased this to support a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens and it does a great job doing it. The grip is designed for larger hands but I'm ok with that. If I had smaller hands I probably wouldn't like it too much though. It's built solid and it is lightweight so carrying it around isn't an issue.

I want to love it. It's solid, fast and so light. Extension is great for a 6'7" tall photographer and still solid and steady at full extension. However, two days into shooting an NCAA Track and Field Meet with a 300mm f/2.8 attached, a rubber 'O' ring on the top section clamp has come out of the...

Once I figured out the need to reverse the screw at the top to attach directly to my lens - this thing is perfect. Holds a pro camera and 400/2.8 lens with no problems, height adjusts to a comfortable level for me (6'1) and is extremely lightweight.

Found the Benro very light easy to deploy and very sturdy...what more do you need.. oh Ya nice and tall for my 5'11'frame..great monopod..period......

The monopod is light, yet sturdy. I have attached a Benro Gimbal and this combination is working well for outdoor sports and birding.

Good, stable lightweight monopod. Bough this to replace a tired, old Manfrotto - this Benro collapses down further, meaning that it attaches better to a camera bag, and the carbon fibre construction means that it's relatively light. I like the flip-locks - easy to adjust when in use.

Rock solid steady with a 35 pound ENG rig. Does not flex, wobble, or slip when locked. Lightweight.
