MP-15 Lightweight Monopod

Summary: Better Than Expected
Review: For the money, this monopod rocks- plenty tall, totally adjustable, and the quick shoe is very handy. The quality is really quite high, as well- a nice looking, sturdy piece. The foot piece seems unnecessary, but it can probably be removed. I am very pleased with this one.

Summary: Great Help
Review: I use a chair to get around, so a regular tripod would be too hard to handle. This is just great. It is light enough for me to take along and easily adjustable. This will help me to get better, steadier pictures, especially at night. Because of nervious shaking of my hands, I have had problems with blurry pictures. Now, this will help cut down on them. Thanks.

Summary: Basic But Sturdy Monopod
Review: I was in the market for a sturdy monopod that could also serve as a walking stick for light trail use. The Vangaurd MP-15 fits the bill fairly nicely with the following observations:

Pros:
Inexpensive compaired to similar monopods
Very solid construction
Very sturdy camera mount

Cons:
Pan and tilt handle too close to grip when folded down
Attached "foot" does not provide much added stability

All-in-all, I am very pleased with this monopod.
