The MeFOTO WalkAbout Aluminum Monopod (Chocolate) is surprisingly useful. You need just a little lightweight stability, such as a wedding, sports event, or graduation; the MeFOTO WalkAbout Monopod is made for precisely that, walking about while taking photos or video without the hassle of setting up a tripod. And if strolling is on your agenda, it converts to a walking stick! When compacted, the WalkAbout measures 18.1″ in length, making it small enough to carry just about anywhere. Weighing less than one and a half pounds means you dont have to worry about where youre going or what youre doing when you bring the WalkAbout along. Despite its small size when compacted, the WalkAbout extends over 5 feet. Height is adjustable with twist locks with chocolate-colored accent rings that echo the knob. The removable knob reveals a 1/4″-20 screw that can handle a camera directly or accept an optional tripod head. The top leg section features a rubberized grip and wrist strap while the 30.9 lb weight capacity ensures steady support whether used as a monopod or walking stick.
