Digital camera reviews of Davis & Sanford Vista Trailblazer Monopod
Digital camera Review: A GREAT Starter Monopod
Summary: 4 Stars
I confess that I was a tad wary of a $20 monopod, but I've been pleasantly pleased with this item.
It's nice and simple visually: matte black, with a nice looking black foam handle.
It extends very well (I'm 6'4" and in it's full extension it's above my eye level). There are three knobs to unlock/lock. The fit and finish is not at all "high end" - it feels a little cheap - but it does not feel as if it's going to break any minute. I'm sure that if one is rough with this item, it may bend or become damaged. But if you're mellow/normal and treat it with care, it feels as if it will be fine.
The foot spike is handy - there's a threaded ring which enables one to retract the pointed spike for interior use. Nice and simple - it does the job.
Attaching a camera (I'm using digital SLRs) is quick and easy, and the relatively heavy cameras with long lenses (Nikon D50 & Nikon D80) feel well locked and secure.
This monopod is very light weight, which is a plus for portability, although a heavier monopod will reduce shake and vibration more effectively, and add durability as well.
For $20, this monopod is a no-brainer; you can't go wrong - you get more than what you pay for. Yes, the craftsmanhip is just "descent" and nothing special, but it's certainly not junk either.
It comes with a very handy black zippered bag - which I did not expect and is a very helpful. Thumbs up.
