4need tighter controlSep 19, 2007
By Daniel Elton Harmon
I bought one of these several weeks ago and ended up donating it to my daughter, who's taking a college photo class. I basically like it, but I couldn't get the camera attached tightly enough on the ball panhead to avert "flopping." I've been using a simple Kodak 68" "Go Anywhere" Pro Monopod (about $10) for most of my non-tripod requirements, but the Kodak head doesn't tilt for angles and verticles. This was my first look at a ball panhead; I've been testing others. (See my other reviews.)

2Inexpensive, but poor design for the panhead.Oct 26, 2007
By T. Janecek "nd96"
The quality is decent except for the fact that screw does not tighten down on the panhead ball. This results in the camera just flopping around and difficulty holding the desired position.

The monopod lacks a good swivel lock which limits its use. The monopod otherwise performs its function well.

4very usefulOct 27, 2009
By Q. Tran
lightweight, useful for travel, the ball head is kinda weak. we use a canon eos XTi and works just fine, but I think that the ball head will not lock after about a year...but it's a good price and will proably buy again when the current one dies.

1Believe what you've readJan 16, 2010
By Panglos "Panglos"
What others have said here is true: the screw that tightens the ball head to the leg is too short. As a consequence it is impossible to tighten the tilt head all the way, and so your camera will flop around atop this monopod. The heavier your apparatus, the worse the problem will be.

It's hard to see how this obvious defect got past the manufacturer. I've had this monopod for several years and made several unsuccessful attempts to fix the problem. Ultimately I simply super-glued the ball to the tilt head, which defeated the tilt feature (that never worked anyway), but at least it allowed for some functionality.

I came here to see if Vanguard was still selling this piece of junk when I went back online to buy an add-on tilt head. Think I'll go with the Manfrotto 234. I could just get a whole new monopod, but I really want a good tilt head, and this appears to be the only way to be sure I'll get what I want--as long as the superglue holds (it will).
