When it become a monopod, is it strong enough to use as walking pole for a 125 lb man?

I suppose you could if you take the camera mount off. But I brought mine specifically for my camera

Yes, it will hold that weight. The only caveat is that you must mount the mounting plate into either a solid wall or into solid studs. I had to use channel iron anchored into two studs to create a stable platform upon which I could mount the support. They are great supports, but the mounting plate will require you to pay attention to the wall you are mounting onto.

Most certainly, yes. So far this has been an incredibly rugged and lightweight solution to my monopod predicament.

If you are asking if you can put a camera on it and use it as a monopod while snowboarding, then yes.If you are asking if you can use it to put your weight on while snowboarding, then definitely not.

It's pretty strong, I would think it will do the trick. Just make sure it is attached to the pole securely.

Hi,You can fold the legs up completely and use as a monopod. However, it does not extend very high.Rick

i do not believe it is that flexible and if you are trying to use as a tripod, it would probably fall over. i was not impressed with my gorillapod and it was very flimsy before it broke to pieces. a friend had similar issues with it falling apart. i have been very happy with my Pedco UltraPod II. check it out and see if it is what you are looking for.

Yes, there should be no problem with 125 lb man. My wife weighs more than that and has no problem.

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...

Probably too heavy - this monopod is great quality but not heavy duty. I use it with the Sony NEX 7 and a 200mm compact zoom and that starts to stress the monopod when fully extended.

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.

Yes. Make sure the pole is perfectly perpendicular and tightened as much as possible. My dad is 145 pounds and it has worked for him.

It would probably do so, fits standard threads, I have it on a Vortex tripod. HOWEVER, it's pretty stout...so it would probably be pretty heavy for a monopod.

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.

Yes definitely...this mount will support over 200 pounds..very strong mount

I'm not familiar with your tripod, but if it currently holds a fluid head then it may be possible. I think this head is a bit large to use with a monopod but thats just my preference to go as light as possible on monopods. I think for the $, this is a decent head and a good investment. If you get it and realize that it won't work with your legs, I think upgrading to a beefier set of legs is the better alternative to going with a different head. But obviously it depends on what you need it for.If you plan on using it in the monopod configuration then this head may make your setup a bit top heavy.

It's lightweight so it's good for point and shoots, cell phones, and the GoPro but if you are going to use it with a DSLR you might want something a little beefier. Maybe more like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-WT1003-67-Inch-Monopod/dp/B00FAYL1YU/
