Does anyone know if this would hold up a monopod to use as a bigger tripod? I know, probably a silly question.

This particular unit would not hold up a monopod due to the fact that it is a smaller type or gorilla pod and it is meant for pocket cameras but works with my heavier dslr as long as it is standing straight up.

I do not think so as it is very small and flimsy. It will just hold a small digi camera.

It is for light duty only. Would not trust it with a Nikon SLR. Best with smaller cameras. Hopes this answers your question. Tim

Yes - it's designed to be attached to a *tripod* or perhaps you'd use a Mono-pod, as I have occasionally. There's a ZOOM "Bundle" available that includes a *tripod*, however you may want to supplant it with yet another TALL tripod sometimes.

I agree with all of the previous answers. I use mine on a monopod with good results.

Yes it will mount on a monopod but why would you want to put a head this big and heavy on a monopod?

Here's the thing. Yes, it will hold it. But, you don't want it to. This tripod weighs maybe 16oz at best. I wouldn't trust my old Kodak 126 with rotating cube flash attached to this thing!

I really enjoy this monopod. I have had no problems and I use it regularly. Hopefully the company can resolve your issue.

It has a standard screw mount, like any tri-pod...but it's not really a 'monopod' to speak, more an extension bar...it works perfect for little point & shoot cameras, like the Power Shot. It should work fine. (but I don't think it works so good as a monopod, it lacks the stability of the 'foot') :)

Unless they have changed the way this tripod is assembled, I would be careful buying it. The head, on the one I had, was GLUED on and not screwed on. After some time, it came loose and put my camera at risk of falling. I contacted the manufacturer and expressed my concern. I would check with the manufacturer to see whether they have corrected this problem.

This will work with both tripod and monopod, I have both and it mounts well, and works well with both.

The monopod is very sturdy and we've had great luck with it on a variety of cameras and situations. Although I'm not familiar with the weight of a 300mm lens or more importantly whether it puts a significant torque on the point of attachment, my gut says it will be fine, plus Amazon does stand behind their products...

Never had a problem. It's more likely that your tripod doesn't meet the 1/4-20 tripod mount standard for some reason.

It will NOT support the weight though, I already tried it with that camera and the plastic leg locks broke. Don't risk your camera on this cheap tripod.

Umm... I would prolly not get this tripod. I only use this for a JVC camcorder. It is pretty small and for the most part "solid", but prolly would be rather shaky and there's a pretty good chance it would keep falling over.

I just use in on a monopod. It is quite substantial in weight and bulk, though not overly so. A quality piece of equipment, but I think anything with a quarter-twenty attachment will work fine.

I'm not familiar with the equipment you are talking about, but if you are talking about quick video, I don't think you will have a problem. The monopod is really good for tight places too awkward for tripods. You might want to research the maximum weight specs on the description of this monopod and compare. I hope this helps.

Yes, it will work fine. I commented on a response but I want this to be seen for others as well; It's all about careful positioning, and it comes with a dual-pivot point head so you can balance the bulk of the weight back or forward according to your needs. if the camera is heavier on one side I generally put it towards the leg with the logo which is longer from the pivot point. I am a professional photographer who always carries this pod with me, and I use it on many outings. I support a D700 with battery grip and a metal-body F/2.8 lens. Sometimes I've even stuck my 80-200 f/2.8 on there and that is HEAVY. My girlfriend has a D5100 and I would not hesitate. She holds my camera and can't believe I use it because it's so heavy (full alloy, everywhere) I believe if you have issues with it tipping over you should practice with positioning the tripod and camera. do not point the bulk of the weight away from the single leg, and use the head to pivot as well as possible to keep the center of gravity near the center of the pod. good luck! I highly recommend this one. I found mine at a yard sale and WILL buy another if it ever breaks. Here are some numbers: D700 - 2.39lb MB-D10 grip loaded - .89lb nikon 80-200 f/2.8 lens - 2.81lb TOTAL : SIX POUNDS, about five without grip! That's more than I'd like to put on the tripod, but possible in a pinch. Now here's a potential kit: D5100 - 1.22lb (already a pound lighter) nikon 10.5mm fisheye - .67lb TOTAL: 1.89lb!! Less than one THIRD the weight of my kit. Or if you have a pro lens, say the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 ED DX, that's 1.65lb. So a total of 2.87lb. Still less than half the weight I've set on this tripod. :) careful to balance and it will work.

I never attached any tripod yet. I think a regular tripod will work just grate, if you put a tripod base it may be not look well depending the tripod base. Other than that, grip is perfect and is always on my camera.
