 Just what I needed. July 28, 2010

I'm an amateur photographer and take a good many outdoor and wilderness pictures. I have essential tremor in my hands (slight trembling) that makes holding a camera still almost impossible. This Davis and Sanford Trailblazr monopod is exactly what I needed. I love it. I can easily and quickly adjust the length so I can take pictures standing up (I'm 6'2"), sitting in a canoe or kayak, or anywhere in between. I'll never be without this monopod.
Very nice. July 25, 2010

The first thing i said after i tried this out in the field was, "why didn't i buy a monopod 10 years ago!". I chose this monopod for my dslr video experimenting. I didn't want to spend a fortune on a monopod and not use it. So i chose the cheap route. For the money this monopod is really nice. Its light, it comes with a carrying case. The build quality isn't bad. The leg locks are plastic which isn't great but as long as your now beating it up it should last for a while. The only other thing i realized was that you need a quick release mount to make it a little more efficient to use. All in all a great buy for such little money! What would we do without cheap chinese stuff!!
 Good monopod July 19, 2010

I received this monopod as a birthday gift from my wife just prior to our recent cruise to Alaska. It was the perfect accessory to the new camcorder which I used to photograph the whales, seals, and otters which we were fortunate enough to see while we navigated the inner passage.
I am impressed by the sturdy quality. The adjustable tip allows flexible use on both slick indoor floors and soft surfaces. The carrying case which is included make it easy to slip over my sling bag strap. I am sure I will continue to enjoy this monopod in the future.
Tri-rific results for a monopod July 12, 2010

This monopod is very easy to use, ok, how can you mess up a monopod! I have used the monopod for photo/hiking trips from Kansas to the mountains of Colorado. Very light, helps stabalize the camera in high winds and has provided me with the ability to take many very nice distance photos. I would not suggust using it for a hiking stick..it's just not durable enough, but to hold and stabilize your shots.. excellent!
Unreal for the money July 8, 2010

I never write product reviews but after getting this, I was too stunned not too. Now in all honesty, the thing isn't anything magical. It's a stick that you put your camera on. But I was not expecting what I got for my money. I was expecting for $17, it would be hardly better than buying some PVC at Home Depot, only the PVC would be sturdier because it's one solid piece. I was grossly mistaken! This thing is great. I took a couple of pictures in low light (with slow shutter speed), both hand-held and with the monopod and it was awesome. It is super sturdy and collapsed it doubles as a handy baton in case you find yourself in a bad situation (yes, it's that sturdy). Expanded it is slightly less sturdy, but can easily support cameras and/or people using it as a walking stick (especially without the last section (thinnest) extended. It is pretty light for it's sturdiness. The case it comes with is fairly good too.
The bad review on here must be referring to another item. They could not be talking about this monopod. Trust me, it's sturdy and you'll love it.
And to anyone who says, "It's ok, but it doesn't have a ball head"... I say, "It's $17!!!!"
