Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Opteka MP100 67" Pro Photo / Video Monopod
Customer Review: Great Monopod for the Photog on a Budget
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this a few months ago and here are my impressions.
Pros:
-Great quality for the price.
-Sturdy enough to use as a walking stick but light enough not to be a burden.
-Simple, secure flip locks for each section of the pole.
-Nice case included.
Cons:
-Screw-down rubber foot that covers the metal tip wore down quickly.
-Plastic connection for the hand strap is cheap and poorly placed.
-Hand strap is too cheap and uncomfortable to use.
Conclusion:
You will not find a better deal in Monopods than this one. In spite of the cons, I would buy this again in a heartbeat. It costs a fifth of what a similar Manfrotto monopod costs and does exactly the same thing.
It is the best monopod out there for someone on a budget!
Customer Review: Pro quality at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
The product is easily adjustable whether sitting in bleachers at a sporting event or standing outdoors. Light weight is key and very stable. Great product!Customer Review: Inexpensive and portable.

Taking pictures with a digital camera is not difficult, but trying to get a steady shot is another thing. I was on amazon.com surfing the site and this product was recommended to me, I have been looking for a monopod that was light, compact and had a carrying case for a few months. This fit the bill for under $20. Who can beat that! Customer Review: Great utility for the price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been in the market for buying a monopod for many days, but always turned off due to the $50+ prices as a monopod is of not much use for in-house shooting activities. This monopod for $12 is useful for those outdoor shootings when you do not want the picture or video shooting to be shaky. The material used is fairly good, not like those cheap chinese tripods you buy when the threads of the screw will go away after some usage, the grip is good and the case is good for storage.
I will recommend this to be used with a small camera (I use it with my Panasonic TZ5) but may not be good to be used with a SLR camera or a bulky camcorder (why would you want a monopod anyway for that? Tripod is always the only option)
Customer Review: Perfect for my point and shoot!
Summary: 5 Stars
For my 3 different point and shoot cameras, it works just perfect!
Pretty much all parents of the kids in my son's violin class are going to buy it after saw my first try in last week's recital shooting -- especially after they heard just how much I paid for it.
