Summary: Cheap, Light, Adequate
Review: The SMP-1 is very inexpensive. It's much lighter than my other monopod and has easier to operate flip-locks for the extension sections. The head flips in one direction, but with that you can angle the partially extended monopod to brace a camcorder against your body. The monopod has a minimal foam handle grip at the top. It has only a short wrist strap so you can't use the strap to help brace the monopod by using it around your neck, or carry it that way either. The monopod extends to 60" and collapses to 17". I doubt that the monopod is very durable, but it's light enough that it won't be left behind either.

Summary: Right for the Price
Review: This is a great, economical monopod that we recently got to use with our Canon Rebel. I was pleased with its size, both when collapsed and fully extended. I felt that it was well worth the cost.I would have rather had a squeeze release on the leg, but that would have increased the price. My only real complaint about this monopod is that the foot for the camera doesn't detach; that made it a little awkward actually screwing the camera on...
