IFOOTAGE A200 Round Base Monopod, 22" Desktop Mini Tripod, Aluminum Tabletop Small Tripod, Compatible with DSLR Camera, Light, Webcam for Live Streaming, Vlogging, Payload 10KG/22LBS

This stand is super sturdy and well made. The base is super heavy to ensure it won't tip over. It is packaged with a rubber ring around it, and I actually like to keep it on - it makes it easy to roll around. The feet is covered with felt so that it cushions the fall while putting it down. The included strap holder makes it easy to hang anything with a strap on it. I just have three complaints about it. It is overall too expensive for what it is. Quality is great for sure, but I'd like to buy more when I see the price come down for a bit. It is also a bit too shaky when handling cameras on it. For anything else, like lights, it should not be a problem. But I always have to make sure it is stable before recording. The third complaint is that there is no locking mechanism between the monopod and the base. It is a little too easy to twist to loosen the monopod. So in future iterations, I'd like to see some kind of lock to ensure it stays tight.

I really didn't want to like these. They're pretty expensive and, on paper, fulfill the same basic function as a $20 3-leg light stand. Having them here to check out changed my thoughts quite a bit; the build quality, along with the difference in studio footprint and trip safety compared with a standard stand really makes the cost difference worth it.

I love these!!! They are much less bulky than a standard tripod style stand, and the weighted base securely holds my lights. The bases are about 12lbs each. Not super heavy, but multiple stands can be a little awkward to carry, depending how you are transporting them. Anyway, super happy with my purchase.

Love this stand. Very sturdy and well made, I don't have to worry about anyone tripping over this like the tripod stands. It's easy to use, easy to set up and break down. It has the perfect weight to it so that it doesn't easily tip over and stays stable. One thing is, It is a bit pricey, wish they could throw in a carrying case for this stand and it could offset the price...just a thought

I use it for a spotting scope stand. Takes up less space on the floor than a tripod. Added a swivel head.

Simple but functional

The product engineering is excellent.

Works as advertised - easy to use, stable, less portable if your shooting on location or traveling.

This round base monopod has turned out to be so helpful and is of very good quality. The round base does not take up a large footprint like a typical tripod does. so I can easily move it around from room to room. In other words, because it is flexible I can easily bring it wherever I am filming in my house. This has been especially helpful when I need to quickly put the camera in front of me on my computer desk. And sometimes when filming something on my floor (for example an unboxing video), well, this monopod is the perfect height and simply does not get in the way or in the shot (like tripod legs always seem to do). They even provide a thin layer of padding that you can stick to the bottom of the base. Honestly, I've purchased a few iFootage products so far, and I have not been disappointed yet.

Could be a touch higher. Doesn't come with ball head to attach a camera.

Brilliant sturdy monopod, I have it mounted on my sound desk and use it for recording video, the size is perfect for me, I can extend it over the height of people for a clear view, easy to set up although it looks like it's upside down with the smaller section on the bottom and the bigger section on the top, but all in all its a very good buy, I'm happy with it.

I do a lot of videoing using monopods as they are less intrusive. I have a couple with the three leg design but they can tip over. This is not one of those it is very stable and sturdy and even less intrusive than the afore mentioned type.

I love the form factor and the round base. Still waiting on the Cobra 3 tripod and hope it is as good a quality. I Recenlty purchased the Sirui SL 200, and it's also an excellent extension piece. If I had to choose one over the other, the SL 200 wins by a hair, good thing I don't, both units are great and serve their purpose well!
