This is a light monopod with five sections extending from 39cm to 139cm. The MP223 has a two way head, allowing landscape or portrait format. A foam grip and wrist strap are provided. Each leg section is locked and unlocked with a quick action release. The aluminium leg sections are thin, the components cheaply moulded plastic and the foot would easily sink into damp ground. Add a bit of weight and it begins to bow.

Sections: 5
Length: 39-139cm
Weight: 225g

Verdict:
Inexpsnsive but not very solid monopod.

Pros:
Cheap…

Cons:
…but not particularly cheerful.
