SIRUI SVM-165 Rapid Monopod for Cameras, 65” Carbon Fiber Monopod with Feet, One-Step Rapid Height Adjustment, Lightweight for DSLR Camera, Modular 3 in 1, Max Load 22lbs

Excellent design and build quality. Love the quick deployment and height adjustment. A bit heavy but I think most monopods with feet are on the heavier side.

Very easy to open and bag is good addition

This monopod is so stout and well-built that it exceeded what I need in a monopod. I have a relatively light-weight kit (100-500mm lens) and I need a monopod for travel. This monopod is a little heavier and not as compact as I would like for travel purposes. However, it is not marketed as a travel monopod, so I certainly don't fault it for that. I love the rapid height adjustment feature and the option to use tripod legs. This a very versatile monopod that could possibly replace the need for a ground pod too. If you don't need a compact light-weight monopod, this is perfect. Highly recommend!

Professional grade quality. Nice pole.

Overall design is great, unfortunately I ordered a like new unit to save a few dollars and the Amazon Warehouse program did not inspect the unit properly. That unit had a broken locking mechanism. I hope this was misuse by the person who returned it and not a manufacturing issue or sign of the item's durability.

Product is sturdy, works as indicated is very handy with one hand operation.

This is one of the best tri/ mono pods I've ever owned. It holds my nikon z8 with a 180-600mm lens with ease..will stand on its own with no problems, lightweight and easy to carry over my shoulder with the camera and lens attached. Overall its perfect out in the field. When other photographers see it in action, they all ask to photograph the name and style to get one of their own!!

Arrived with a locking mechanism that does not function. Tripod will not lock, and bottom lock twists indefinitely while making a crunching noise. Every time I lift the tripod off the floor it fully extends. I was warned about this in recent reviews and assumed I'd be fine. However, they appear to be correct.

Top quality monopod; I'd rate it as professional grade. The quick release system is just what I needed. It works well and makes life so much easier than my older conventional monopod. It's quite large and heavy compared to my older Sirui monopod which was a bit of a concern for me at first but I quickly got used to it and will be using it for shooting at events from now on. The tripod feature on the bottom seems like it might be useful in the future, I have only used it for testing so far. I can see plenty of use case scenarios for it. One thing I like is that I can put it down standing up and don't have to carry it around when not in use. The only thing that lets it down it the bag. My older Sirui tripods and monopods have better quality bags with zipper openings. The bag with this one feels like lower quality, it's a hassle to get it in and of the duffle style bag in a hurry and the printing on it looks ugly. One thing to note is that the advertised height is for using it with the tripod legs unfolded. If you use it as a conventional monopod or with the tripod feet removed you lose height. Now I'm glad I paid a bit extra for the 165 over the 145. It seems durable and I reckon it should last well. I've have other products from this company and have been happy with them.

Muy práctico. El que se despliegue y se pueda plegar con un solo movimiento es perfecto.

Excellent and works extremely well with the Leophoto mono gimbal. Definitely recommend

Bonjour et bonne année à tous. Mono pied superbe, jamais déçu avec la marque Sirui.

Excelente monopie, tenia rato buscándolo, llego rápido, esta en buen precio, resistente y ligero para lo que es, aunque ojo aun así pesa como 1 kg por si solo, pero nada que ver si fuera de aluminio o otro material. Este es fibra de carbono, el sistema de bloqueo de altura esta increíble y cómodo, te ahorra tiempo y esfuerzo. El sistema de liberación rápida igual ayuda bastante para tener varias configuraciones de montaje, si duda excelente monopie si buscas comodidad, resistencia y fácil manejo.
