Keep you camera steady
348886
I always noticed that professional photographers at sporting events have monopods.  I wanted to try one and this one was inexpensive.  This was a great purchase.  It keeps the camera steady but keeps the portable.  I should have bought a monopod years ago.

Just finished a feature length film using this for 90% of my shots. Received it on Friday, began shooting at 7am Saturday, and did not look back. The secret is that your body becomes a steadycam with this light of a rig and minimal DSLR weight. Sometimes the fasteners did not lock, but I never had a problem, and you can modify it cheaply if you want.

Looking to shoot film footage with your DSLR, but want to stay compact and lightweight? This is an essential tool. Exactly the balance you need to get the steady shots you're looking for. And at this price, it's a gimme. I love the Dolica!

Great for the occasional user who needs to steady a light camera.

Not intended for heavy-duty, intensive use. This is not a pro item, nor is it intended to be. You get what you pay for.

Lightweight, quick and easy to set up. A zippered nylon carry case is included and it's just big enough for the monopod without a ball head.

Pair it with a ball head, and it's a good way to get steady shots without carrying a full rig. Just leave the carry case home.

More often these days, photography with a cell phone is becoming more common. This cell phone stabilizer/holder can be used in a tripod or on a selfie stick. It is adjustable to fit any cell phone, even a large phone like an iPhone 6 plus (which is what I have). It provides the needed stability to take a quality photograph, which is crucial. The locking mechanism is sturdy ( bolt rather than a spring) which makes the longevity of this product even longer. If you are a photographer by trade or just for fun, this product can increase your success. I recommend it.

I did receive this product in exchange for my fair and honest review.

works great with dslr shooting video of action sports, other than shooting in the surf at knee high water was very stable, won't suggest walking long distances, better for standing/sitting in non-tripod locations. For walking suggest many of the 'steady-cam' type rigs.

This is great when you need to be in the picture , or if you are using a tripod!!!!  Am glad I bought it

While I do like using this my problem is when you put the camera down on a flat surface. Because of the base that screws into the camera it causes it to be unstable. My D90 is off to Nikon for repairs after it fell on the floor. Not happy. Anyone have that issue?

This is a very nice accessory kit, something for every kind of situation to aid in stabilizing your camera so you are getting the best shot possible. For the price you will not find a better product anywhere.

Keeps your fingers out of the iPhone picture --- attaches to a tripod for stability (or my favorite, my monopod)

This is a great item to have if you plan on taking a lot of shots. I have used my camera for well over a month on two fully charged batteries, just doing daily casual shooting. It fits my Nikon D3200 great, it makes the camera more comfortable to hold, and with very little weight added. I highly recommend this for your camera if you plan on extended usage. Excellent product.

I am always needed to have something to hold the device while I use it to gather data, this is a quick fix that lets you use any sort of camera support or tripod, great solution.

If you want to be in the picture using the timer and don't have that perfect stable place to place the camera on, then this gadget will come to your rescue.  It wraps around just about anything, and you can easily screw it into the bottom of your camera where there is threading for a tripod.  Never be left out of a picture again!  : )

Got this for my 1DX and it seems to keep up well with the camera.

Need to ensure the floats don't get in the way of the lens but they are secure and make me feel confident to not loose the camera.

This works decent enough, provided you have a steady hand. Basically, you're putting your camera on a gimbal, so it's only as good as your hand is steady, since you're essentially only able to keep the camera steady in the vertical axis, but not the horizontal. If you have something to lean it up against, it works considerably better. I had no issue with the mount being loose, as one of the reviewers described. However, I have a Sony Alpha A33 with an 18-200mm lens, so it's not as heavy as some cameras.

This is definitely not going to replace your tripod, but if you don't want to lug a tripod around (or don't have the space to set one up), this is better than nothing. As for the quality, I was very impressed with the ease of use. The clips lock and unlock very easily, the legs telescope smoothly, and the mount doesn't sag under weight (even under full telephoto extension). It's also fairly light, which is nice.

Easy to set up, store and carry. The adjustable arm stays where I put it and the legs can provide support while each is set to a different length with little trouble if the adjustability of the camera arm still isn't enough for the angle you want.
