apenas llevo un mes con el

I got this monopod to help with corporate and wedding shoots I do with a bmpcc4k. My rig is decent sized (camera, 20-70mm, vmount battery, external monitor) but it handled it pretty well. I definitely would not leave it standing unattended because it could tip over with all of that weight, but the extensions never slipped with the size of my rig. The build quality is great and it's form factor is really versatile. It allows you to use it collapsed, fully extended, or even as a tabletop tripod. It also swivels 360 degrees at the base so you can get some dynamic pans and 'cheated' dolly shots and the fluid head is exceptionally smooth for this price point.

My monopod had an issue with the feet when I first used it. One of the connecting screws was stripped and that foot would not stay locked in the upward position (thankfully it still locked when setting it down). I was still able to get through the shoot fine and captured some really nice footage. I reached out to Cayer after the shoot and explained what was wrong. They immediately messaged me back and sent a replacement set of feet. I simply screwed them onto the original monopod and the issue was solved!

All in all, I would definitely recommend this product if you're interested in getting a monopod to supplement your gear. It is way more mobile than using a tripod and their customer service is top notch.

This is my first fluid head monopod, so I can't compare it to much else. What I can tell you, though, is that I find the fluid head to be smooth and easy to use. The locking mechanisms are solid. The carrying bag it came with seems really good, better than expected. Tucked away in the inside zippered pouch were some accessories. Nice touch!

My only complaint is that the lever for locking the quick release plate can be hard to access because the locking lever on the handle. And, an allen wrench is used to tighten the plate's screw to the camera. I'm sure this is w very secure way of doing, but I know that wrench will come up missing shortly. I will probably see if I can find a dedicated Allen wrench screwdriver-type, with a handle and such, to keep in the bag, as that will be harder to lose.

Overall though, I highly recommend this monopods. I'm anxious to acquire Cayer's fluid head tripod at some point in the near future.

And the company seems awesome. They sent me a very nice email, asking that I give this review.

This is just what I wanted in a monopod. I could quibble and prefer carbon but in truth, I doubt the weight difference would be noticeable given there isn't that much material here compared to a conventional tripod.

I got this because a job needs me to move from place to place quickly and I won't have enough room to place a tripod down even if I could manage moving it quickly. I thought I'd be trading stability for mobility. There is some of that but the tradeoff isn't nearly as a downside as I thought and made even less by the camera's lens IS.

The feet fold up to make a true monopod like used by still shooters and this can be used as such, but it's clearly aimed at videographers. A ball joint at the base allows easy but dampened movement of the stem after the feet are deployed. Being a monopod, I'd not leave this unattended with a camera attached when it's extended. Please see the photos. A stiff wind or even a gentle bump by an inattentive person would knock it over. When closed, it's solid. I took these images without the supplied head handle attached.

It also comes with a nice carry case. The head performs smoothly. After years of using the twist and miss tripod leg locks, I'm happy now to be converting to flip cam lockers. Overall, this is doing every bit as well as I'd hoped.

I got this mainly to use as a monopod without the feet with my DSLR & large lens. For that I think it will be fine because I won't need the pan feature which it is WAY to stiff and not at all smooth - sticks in spots as it turns. It is so stiff (yes, fully unlocked) that if you turn it the wrong way (left) it tries to unscrew the mount from the monopod. Having said that, the instructions do not feature any info on the locking screws, that were not tight, nor any info on how to remove the feet part & add the rubber foot. The tilt feature is very nice & smooth which is why I bought it, but if that was like the pan I'd have sent it back. I like the snap lock legs which also were not tightened properly on arrival. The key for them worked fine though. I might use the head on my Sirui carbon monopod when I travel as it is a little bit lighter, but not much. In the end, for my needs, it should be fine.
