The 350 is both sturdy and very light, which over the course of a day’s carrying could prove a real advantage. Judging by the girth of the barrel, it is aimed at DSLR users with a heavy lens. The four sections help the 350 fold down to 51cm without a head.

It has a good foam grip – useful if shooting in cold conditions – with the locks easy to open and firm when closed. The 350 extends to a maximum 63in (160cm), although anyone over 6ft tall would still have to bend slightly to use it. One option could be to add a ball and socket head to the monopod to bring it up to a more comfortable working height.

Max. height: 160cm

Verdict:
A well built monopod offering support for heavier DSLR camera/lens combinations.

Pros:
Sturdy yet light in weight

Cons:
Taller users will still need to bend down to use it
