Does it stand by itself with a camera on top?

Not a trustworthy device for this as the legs are short and the monopod must be perfectly upright.

Friction on the ball and socket is all that might hold your monopod. I wouldn't leave it without holding it, even less with a camera on top. I do recommend this device, it's all most as stable as a tripod and a lot easier to use.

If the camera is light, it will balance, but it is not made for that. I would not suggest it for use as a tripod It is meant as a monopod, but the feet do help keep it steady

it can but it's not designed to really. youre talking a risk because it will fall over

It can stand by itself, but you should never leave it as it can also fall over easily.

Yes. The monopod will stand upright by itself with a camera on top however; I would not leave the monopod unattended. It does not take much at all to send it tumbling over so heads up. I hope this helps. Tony

I wouldn't leave any monopod unmanned. It is a monopod. But if you have your plate and camera balanced it does balance, but never leave it alone.

It can stay put while you have a camera (DSLR) mounted to it, but I would never walk away from it as if it were a tripod.

It should be able to stand on its on. The ground anchors that come with it are not attached so there shouldn't be a problem of it standing alone. One caution, however, it tends to be somewhat flemsey when not attached at the bottem.

Also the place where it holds the camera is from the top I don't think if you screw only that little thing underneath it would be enough to hold your camera, the main support is really from the top

No, it has it's own stand. Very sturdy and our sweet grand baby absolutely loves it!!

It doesn't! Can't stand on it's own in the vertical position. Still worth the money!!

No. But it stands very good without base. It also got some sort of support stick that can be pluged into backpack

You can stand around the camera, not necessary to be in front of the camera, to shot a picture. Mine only worked for several times, and is dead. I have to pay mailing fee by my self for sending it to the company. It may not be worth to me.

Hi M. Brady, The Hourglass does stand on its own. Thanks, Customer Service Team

It will stand by itself, but only if you zig zag the panels. But I would not call it sturdy. The nut and bolts come apart with the slightest movement of the panel. We gave up on using it as a divider and bought a better one.

Yes, the torso stands on its own. That can be pretty handy when you're changing clothes to just set it aside or it could be displayed on its own.

Not easily. You would need a tripod foot for it to stand , easily, on it's own. The wide rubber lip on this device, acts as a retrieval system if it's dropped.

No, it doesn't stand up by itself really. The hard bottom does help and it depends on the balance of the items inside but it's not meant to stay upright.

No. This is just a PA speaker stand. No camera attachments on the stand itself.

No it does not pop up on its own I just leave it up. It does have a good clear picture.

It does have a stand... it seems sturdy to me, but I really don't move it much (and I have not had it for very long either), so I cannot really give a good answer on that...

No stand. You just push it in the ground. It holds up fine. We are happy with this item, however it does seem a little cheap.

It doesn't "lock" per say but it does stand and looks fine by itself with the stabilizers at a lower width / not fully extended.
