Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vivitar VIV-VT-67 67-Inch Monopod
Customer Review: Amazing Value!
Summary: 5 Stars
It's easy to spend a ton of money on a good monopod. And if you are sporting, for example, a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L lens, you probably want to go for the industrial strength unit. But...
This item is well built and provides enough support for large DSLR and even fairly large collared telephoto lenses (I use it with a Canon 5D Mark II and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM).
The legs are slotted so they stay straight when you extend them. The clamps are sturdy and hold the legs tightly extended - I have never had them slip. The grip is comfortable and welcome on those days when you're outside and it's cold. The tip has an adjustable foot that provides either a rubber grip or pointed metal spike.
There are a couple things I did to improve this already value-packed monopod though it is perfectly useful as-is.
1. I added a small ball head. This enables me to adjust the angle of the camera - Manfrotto 494 Ball Head Replaces Manfrotto 484
2. I put another c-clip and a swivel onto the strap so that it would not tangle. Only one is needed - this is an example of the type I used South Bend Interlock Swivels - Size 14 - 50 Pack
3. Since I don't use the metal spike and I spend a lot of time on the gym floor with this, I added a furniture leg tip to cover the spike and add a removable grip that I can replace when it wears out. It also keeps the spike covered so that I don't damage the gym floor. TIP LEG RBBR BLK1-1/8CD4 [Misc.]
At the end of the day, combining the ball head (the most expensive item), the swivel and the furniture tip, this still comes in under a number of more costly monopods.
Note that the case is a nice extra but with the foot and ball head mounted, the monopod does not fit in the case.
