I'm a shortie only 5'6" will it be too long for me, eg hanging down too low and can you use this with a tripod or monopod as camera heavy for handheld

I'm 5'4" and found it to be long, but adjusted the strap. This strap is mounted to the tripod mount at the bottom of the camera. Please also note that I had it come loose and almost dropped by Canon 5DM3. I did purchase the extra strap to be on the safe side.

No... it will work great. My girlfriend uses it and she's only 5'1"... she loves it.

You can adjust the length of the hand down strap so that it will suit your height (5'6"). I am only 5'9" and the Black Rapid RS-7 strap is working fine for me.

I am only 5'7" and it is not a problem with the length. It cannot be used with a tripod as the attachment to the camera is at the screw-mount on the base of the camera.

Hi Sidney,You don't get fear about that this tripod is very flexibly usually you can getting adjust approximately between 3-5 feet and arrange any direction with this height. Thank you

The tripod is great for my Cannon camera. The tripod is as stated for height. If this is not what you are seeking for an answer, please let me know

The length of travel seems pretty standard to me for most shoots. I do however find myself at times wishing It where a bit longer so a 60" may work best for you. Plus this version does not hold a lot of weight. Example. My 5dmkiii with extended life battery grip plus lense seems to bend the slider when the camera is fully extended to either side while the slider is mounted on a tripod. If you plan on using a similar setup especially in a 60" length, Opt for the next level up slider, The k5.Hope this helped.

The tripod is short, but is included. It also has a standard tripod screw mount on the bottom. It will work with most other tripods if you need elevation.

This is a Solid monopod, for a big person, I'm 6'4.That being said, it's about 21" so depending on the backpack, it might fit.Camera backpacks are usualy smaller so you might have some trouble there.It comes with it's own case.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.

Yes, I use it and I am over 6 feet tall. I assume you want to use it for photography.

I got this for my boyfriend who is 6ft4". The straps are adjustable and the length from which the camera hangs can be adjusted. When he wears it the camera sits just above his hip, the lens does not swing or crash against his hip when he moves. He said depending on the length of the ens being used you might find that it will hang close to or on the hip. At 5ft, I'm not sure how well this will fit you, but it is adjustable and it fits him well. He loves it

It can be adjusted vertically from 12" to 18". I found that even at it's lowest setting, it was still too tall. I had to raise the object being photographed. It isn't really a tripod either. It has a three sided bottom that must be on a solid, flat surface. You will need lot's of room for that (about 18" wide by 8" deep). I found that the camera stand (tripod) was not stable enough for me. When I pushed the camera button, the stand would rock back and forth a little. We ended up buying a real tripod. This allowed for a more comfortable height so I didn't have to stand hunched over. It can be adjusted vertically from 12" to 18". I found that even at it's lowest setting, it was still too tall.

I am 5' 8" tall and I have the strap shortened to have the camera hang on my hip. I have 12"s of excess strap which would relate to having the camera hang 6"s lower. The strap is used with a Canon 5D mark II. I also removed the camera mount plate and went with a cast D ring. I hope this comment helps.

It depends on the camera. My Canon is too heavy and the tripod tips over when bent to such a degree.

This is not a tripod, it's just an attachment. I use it on a regular digital camera tripod and it gets from 1 to 6 feet off the ground.

Yes it will! I am 6 foot 3 and I don't even extend the bottom portion of the legs yet. This is a very nice tripod! I do wish however, that I ordered the pistol grip ball head. Although the regular one is nice and works very well, it is a little difficult for a person with the use of one arm. I have the use of both hands, but just the use of my right arm. I do manage though. I added that part in this review in case someone out there has a similar problem and is in to photography. I would recommend this tripod to anyone! I only wish I could have afforded the carbon fiber one, for it would probably be lighter. Yes it will! I am 6 foot 3 and I don't even extend the bottom portion of the legs yet.

The feet are very stable and yes it can work as a temporary tripod, but be careful if you are using very heavy equipment. I would not leave it free standing at any time. It's not made for that. I actually stand on the feet when I use it. I actually moved my ball head from my manfrotto tripod and put it on this monopod when I use it. It is great and well made. You will love it.

This compact monopod is too small. I would not put no more than three pounds on this monopod. My Canon PowerShot SX20IS works well with this. You should look at Manfrotto 680B Monopod 4-SCTN I think this will work better for you.
