Great little thing! Wanted something very portable/non-conspicuous for Pentax K-x DSLR with big and heavy Sigma 70-200/2.8 zoom. Tried ~10 different monopods. The good ones were long/heavy/expensive, the cheap ones had faulty designs. This $15 feather-light "pencil" just works. Had my doubts, picked up at a local store: locks are OK, the legs have 2 grooves that prevent rotation, give additional rigidity and friction. No creeping down as with some bigger brothers for $40! It won't substitute a tripod for professional photos but will definitely improve your on-the-go pics.
Easy to carry even with a small camera bag - put one end into it and strap another with 1-2 Velcro straps (99c from a crafts shop or computer cables tie from a Dollar Store)to the shoulder strap. I am using black Velcros on a black bag. Stays put w/o attracting any unwanted attention.
If you're looking for a very inexpensive monopod and you don't need it to support much weight, I recommend this item. Don't even think about using this with a heavy SLR camera and extending it to max height, though.
