Kootek GMP-02 Extendable Telescopic Monopod
This is a pretty convenient and lightweight camera monopod. It is intended for someone who primarily takes casual snapshots, but who would still appreciate a certain amount of stability for their camera. The included wifi remote mount makes it especially easy to use this monopod while taking pictures at its fullest extent.
I’ve taken this monopod with me on a couple of hikes. It was indeed easy to carry it around as it is made out of plastic and aluminum and it’s very lightweight. In particular, if you put it in your backpack you would not even notice that it’s there. I used it with my iPhone 6 to take a few nature shots. They came through much nicer and more focused than what I am usually used to. The use of this monopod for shooting in the HDR or panorama modes is especially useful. Usually those kinds of photographs end up being very blurry for me, but with this monopod they were almost as good as the ones I take in the “regular” shooting mode.
The monopod seems pretty nice and fairly durable. However, it is not exactly a high end product and you can easily notice that. It is very utilitarian both in terms of its function and its look. If you just need a monopod that gets the things done, then you will not go wrong with this model. Especially since it is very competitively priced.
