Pros: | Weight, Build, Ease of use | Cons: | Price? | | Bought this to go with my DA* 60-250 mounted on a K-30. I also picked up the Sirui K-20x ballhead (smoooooth) with it. Very nice setup, if you have big hands you can twist/unlock all 5 sections, but my hands (5'9") only do 4, which is perfect for my eye level anyways. All the sections glide smoothly and quickly (no sticking) and when tightened, provide ample support - I feel like I could easily use this as a (very expensive) walking stick. The foot has a retractable spike, and the top section has a foam part over it for better grip. Very impressed with the build, and when compared to many other carbon fiber monopods, it's a steal! It even has a little compass on a carabiner attached to the top, which you can take off if you want.
