The defining features are a click lock fold out tripod feet base that allows you to stand your camera and lens on it unattended ,the bottom joint of this actually unscrews to turn it into a ground level tripod by adding the extra plate and screw (supplied) .
Once put back together the next screw up raises and lowers to allow you tilt the whole unit to around 45 degrees handy for doing macro/close up work ,next up are three twist locks that allow height management and they work really smoothly to .
And finally you come to metal twist lock by loosening this the whole top of the monopod moves around 360deg ,effectively the same as a gimbal top and nice and smoothly to a simple two way fitting at the top turns it into a gimble if your inclined .
With mine I have mounted a jobu junior gimble to it instead for easy birding ,but as you can probably realise it’s very adaptable .
The monopod is heavier than I thought it would be ,but that does add to sturdiness and build quality and it comes supplied with a lovely carry bag ,and shoulder strap,plus spare parts and Allan keys ,a super buy and extremely useful as it saves carting a large tripod around ,strap it to your back and use when needed ,highly recommended and around £130 from u.k suppliers bit cheaper direct import from China
