So often, I've ordered something and then, found it lacking. It is nice to receive something that exceeds all my expectations. The Expedition Monopod is awesome. It couldn't be better if I had designed it myself.
Since I am 6' 1", I need the 65" length of this monopod. Fully extended, it is just the right height for supporting binoculars or a spotting scope. When retracted a few inches, it is helpful for steadying a rifle (traditional muzzleloader in my case). I also bought the optional wooden knob with compass and it is handy when the Expedition serves as a hiking staff. A Stoney Point binocular rest is next on my list.
This is a very versatile and well built piece of outdoor equipment which is well worth its modest cost. I highly recommend it.
Pros: Lightweight, sturdy, versatile, adaptable
