SLIK's exclusive A.M.T. super titanium alloy legs make the PRO POD 600 monopod rock steady yet lighter than it looks. The A. M. T. alloy has a 40% greater strength to weight ration than standard aluminum, meaning the tubing used in this monopod is lighter weight yet stronger than the standard metal used in any of today’s monopods. The PRO POD 600’s 4 leg section design folds down to a very compact 21 inches but when fully extended the monopod is 63 inches tall before adding a ball head. (additional accessory) Speed release leg locks make setting up easy, fast, and secure. It can be used with heavy professional SLR cameras and long telephoto lenses, making it perfect for sports or nature photography. A SLIK firm-grip surface provides a strong hold in any weather conditions while the wrist strap can be used to further the stability of the monopod.

This is the nicest monopod I have ever used. I bought it to use with my Sony rx10 Mark 4. I also bought a Slik brand ball head adapter to put on top so that I can set my camera up for either portrait or specialty angles as necessary that you might not otherwise be able to accommodate. The lever locks are extremely convenient with a secure feeling cam action and a satisfying over center let-off in the locked position that lets you know they are securely clamped. Although they are plastic, they are beefy and seem like they will last a long time with care. This is sturdy enough even to use as a hiking staff. I have discovered a good technique for keeping the camera super steady when using extreme telephoto: you put the camera's strap around your neck and push the monopod with camera forward with your arms. When the straps pull tight against your neck it adds another level of stability to help you squeeze off the steadiest possible shot.I have discovered that I can carry my camera with monopod still attached by putting one arm and my head through the camera strap and having the camera and monopod hang underneath one of my arms. I also added a small loop of paracord to the monopod itself so that I can also carry just the monopod with the same method.

Manufacture doesn't tell you it has 1/4" stud so my 3/8" ball head obviously would not attach. Solution was to get a 1/4" to 3/8" converter which cost a lot if purchased separately. For the price they are charging for the monopod Slik they could have included a 1/4" to 3/8" converter and should be included.Three stars because manufacture is not very informative about the product details.

I know Gitzos are expensive, but I throw my money away whenever I these off brands. This sits unused and I'm using only my Gitzos.

This monopod is in fact heavy duty but heavier and bulkier than expected. The problem, though, is that the first section sticks and doesnt freely glide down when I need it for sports photography. The "catch" has not loosened up after several uses and appears wont ever loosen up. When I need to raise or lower it quickly to catch a shot, I fumble pushing up or pulling down. I had a different very popular product previously but lost it. I will purchase another one once I return the Slik Pro Pod 600.

I have a Sony A77 and as anyone knows that has a Sony these cameras are very heavy. When you add a lens like a Sigma 50-500 lens to it, it makes it even heavier! So I needed a strong and heavy-duty monopod. I have had this monopod for a couple of months now and I couldn't be more satisfied. It holds my Sony A77 and the 50-500mm lens tight and I have had no problems! The price is great also. I take many photos of wildlife and this was a much better choice for me because it is very mobile and I can adjust the leg to my height. I highly recommend this product to anyone that have any type of heavy lens or DSLR camera.

I have not used this Slik monopod extensively, but I really do like it. It's a big help in steadying your camera even though camera image stabilization is the norm these days. I use it when time and opportunity present themselves, most often when using flash at 1/60" in relatively bright ambient light - i.e. portraits. The flash duration is very fast, but the ambient light can muddy up the image if strong enough. The leg extension locks are very good and the price is reasonable. Highly recommended.

This monopod was exactly what I was looking for and I think it is a great buy at this price point ($59.95). It is very sturdy, and is able to hold a lens-loaded Nikon D300s securely. It is well made: each of the extensions are strong, including the final extension; the strap attachment is held on by a metal rotating ring so cannot break off; and there is no bend or torque when the monopod is fully extended. It is not a shrinking violet: it is not heavy to the point of being a pain to lug around, but definitely not a diminutive piece of equipment. It adjusts quickly and easily. It would work well as a walking stick if needed, although it only has a very robust rubber tip, not a spike.The only improvement I could suggest is a carrying bag. However, given the type and bulk of camera and gear I'm using it with, I can just attach a carabiner to the strap and attach it to my gear bag.FYI I just received this monopod today, but immediately loaded it up and tried it out. It is much sturdier and better made than the ones I found in the brick and mortar stores (a pretty limited selection) for the same or greater price.

After taking delivery of a D700 & 70-200 f/2.8, I knew I was going to need some help carrying all that weight for hours a day. I've always loved my Slik tripod, so I naturally gravitated to a monopod from the same company, and I have not been disappointed. This monopod is strong, sturdy, very easy to take up and down, will compact enough to use while crouching or sitting, is tall enough to be used by someone 6'2" and probably more, and is very comfortable and light. Combined with the Slik ball head, it's perfect for a wide array of photographic tasks.
