 An Item Well Worth Purchasing July 18, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had looked for a monopod and saw the Sima but didn't care for the white color, and the reviews were a turnoff. I felt perhaps if I spent more money, I'd find a better one. Well, I did find a better one, and at $12.95, it was under a dollar more than the Sima, WITH THE SHIPPING INCLUDED! Additionally, it was matte black and had great reviews.
I just got it and am delighted. It is relatively sturdy, nice quality, not cheesy or junky. Even the case is nice. It is not flimsy rayon that frays, but ballistic nylon. This is a great item for someone trying to get started in photography and get some essentials together.
 Pretty good for the money July 1, 2006

I purchased this monopod as an entry level item. I am very pleased with the construction and materials used. I would like to have a different head on it though. My tripod has a nice pan haed which would be great here. It looks like the Cannon has one but for twice the price. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone who is an amature like me.
Excellent value for the money! May 13, 2006

I bought this item after reading the reviews, and I agree that for the money it's an excellent item! In addition to the features that the other reviewers have mentioned, it also has a rubber boot at the foot of the unit. This allows you to screw the boot down to the bottom to use the monopod on tile or concrete or other hard surface, while screwing it up to expose the spike for use on softer surfaces (dirt / grass).
I have a Canon Rebel XT, and the head connects well and feels sturdy with either of the lenses I use. The monopod doesn't have a tilt/swivel head, but it's light and easy to use, and I can always step up to a more advanced model later if I feel the need.
Excellent Value! May 5, 2006

I ordered this pod expecting a flimsy, low quality item. The Opteka MP100 is a surprisingly sturdy, strong, and certainly well worth the money.

I am really impressed with this monopod for the price. It is so easy to use, light weight, and solid. Being able to put it back in its little sack, throw it over your shoulder and go is great. Keep in mind the price of this pod. For the money....it is fantastic!
If you are not sure that you even want a monopod, (or any pod)...you will be glad you bought this one. After useing it for a while you can decide what you really want to invest the big bucks in, and still get most of your investment back from this one. I will keep mine!!
