Can anyone confirm the weight of just the monopod? Specs say ~1 pound, while one reviewer said half a pound. Thank you!

The exact weight is 15.87 oz, or about 1 lb. The weight include strap, mini compass, and carabiner (little metal clip). Those accessories weigh very little. Hope this will help.

Not exactly sure how much it weighs exactly but the thing is awesome. The Carbon fiber is very very lite. I'm so pleased I bought it. I suggest you have a ball head on it however. Makes it even more enjoyable to use.

Specs say 11 lbs. It's very sturdy and I've used it for weddings with my 5D Mark III and telephoto lens with no problems. Manfrotto is a great brand.

I personally would not trust a tripod this flimsy with a DSLR. The monopod does not have a head either. I returned the kit immediately after opening. I would also recommend seeing how much weight a monopod/tripod head is rated for. I purchased a head that would hold up to 11 pounds, in case I'm using a long lens. I'd rather the equipment be a little on the stout side, holding my camera. Best of luck in your shopping. Amazon has been great.

4.8 lbs. it's very sturdy. I use my nikon d3x on it. That is a big camera. I am very pleased with this tripod.

It's very light weight. No more than 5 lbs. Actually I think it weighs less. It's not something for the hardcore outdoor weather. I would recommend using this tripod indoors or places where wind is at a minimum.

I would say it's no more than 10 lbs. The construction of the tripod is very good and sturdy once you get everything up and running.

pretty much....The idea of the monopod is more of a steadying device for the trail rather than a stationary device like a tripod. You can adjust the camera via the ball, but if you are intending to spend a lot of time setting up a shot you might as well get a tripod.

the description states that it supports up to 9.9 lbs. it may work but you're risking breaking the monopod. there is a more expensive option if you're willing to pay for it. try the Manfrotto 562B-1 Fluid Video Aluminum Monopod with Plate.

The Manfrotto monopod head is built very sturdily - like the proverbial brick outhouse! I would guess it could take 3 or 4 pound cameras easily.

My current setup has some quick release mounts installed on it and the whole thing weighs 1.5lbs total. It is heavier than just a mesh bag but it works great! Glad I bought it and really like the sturdiness of it plus people think it looks pretty cool when mounted up to my AR. Hope that helps.

I don't have the actual weight but its plastic and hollowed aluminum and I would say its a couple (2) pounds at the most... The main problem with this is teh plastic on plastic contact and it tends to grab and then pop which if you are doing any wildlife or distance it can be frustrating... Any tripods that have plastic to plastic contact has this isue and you can pay $120 for some of these and they are the same as the $19.99 so keep that in mind.. In my opinion if you can find one that uses a metal uni-ball and one control level works both up and down it is very smooth and doesn't tend to wander or jump around like the plastic ones...

I have this tripod and in some cases it takes two hands to adjust it. So for ease of use I don't know if you want this one. It is also heavy and would probably weigh more than the mono pod. I wouldn't recommend it just because of the size and being able to adjust it with only one hand while other holds the pod.

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

I've got two of these. One each for my tripod and monopod. I don't have a problem with either.
