Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Monopods (also called Unipods) are important if tripods cannot be used for reasons of space (not enough storage space or unfavourable nature of soil). The versatile one-legged supports allow smaller apertures and longer exposure times (than it is possible if you use your hands) and ensure therefore a better focus depth of the photos. Monopods can go where no tripod has been before; monopods can be wedged in between rocks, pushed into small gaps or buried in the sand allowing you to get a perfect, shake free, photo at all times.

The leg of your monopod can be fixed at your required length with the quick-action leg locks. With only one leg and a convenient protective case you can store your monopod easily around the house or when you want to transport it in the car. The 3D pan head and camera spirit level can add extra professionalism to your photos by ensuring you get optimum angles and perfect levels.

The quick-release coupling allows you to easily change between a number of cameras or camcorders with no difficulty at all so that you never have to miss the perfect shot! Don’t allow a lack of space to stop you from taking brilliant, professional pictures with the Monopod from Hama.

Product Description

Compact 4-part, expandable one-legged stand for cameras and camcorders. Ideal for travelling, on impassable land and at all those places, where there is not enough space for three legs.

Not too bad 10 Aug 2009
It's only £12 so what do you expect?

The Aluminium tubes are good quality and the base does have a ball/socket end to help get a secure footing and to help with panning.

The mount is all plastic and isn't particularily attractive but functions adequately (also has a level on it) - however the handle always gets in the way so a different mount would be better.

As with anything else "Made in China" these days it has that awful epoxy resin/glue smell to it - yuk!

As soon as I connected my 7D to this I could see why it was so cheap! The leg itself is nice but the head! Oh dear..... VERY cheap and nasty! It's might be fine for lighter units but for something substantial forget it, it bends and flexes at the hinge under the weight and is utterly useless! No free lunch for me :o(

Not Amazing 19 Aug 2008
This product seemed to be a bargain at just over £15, so I snapped one up. But it was too good to be true.

When it was delivered, upon closer inspection, I found this product to be very poorly made.

The release catches on the leg were poorly manufactured as was the monopod head. The handle was on the left hand side of the head and made it hard to use.

Although designed to be small and light, this just felt flimsy and fragile. The only redeeming feature was the very comfortable grip under the head, suitable when using for long periods of time.

Good value for money
Good little monopod, great value for money, head is a bit plasticky but sturdy enough for general use. Great for when you dont have time to set up a tripod.

I bought this to give me a more steady support when taking photos, particularly when using a more weighty lens. I've used it a couple of times and so far so good. Read more
