The Ultra Stick 40 is made of titanium and is one of the lightest monopods we’ve tested. It is aimed at the compact/bridge camera market or entry-level DSLR user. It doesn’t come with a head attached, which means you’ll need to purhase one to go with it, which will probably cost you more than the monopod itself. There is a comfortable black foam grip and the barrel is a dull-gold colour.
Unfortunately, the Ultra Stick 40 suffers from poor build quality – the locking pins actually disappeared during our test. Its opening mechanism is tricky too and it does not have locks, but tightens against a thread. Several people we gave the monopod to failed to open it to its full extent and if you were in a hurry it wouldn’t prove to be the most functional design. The thread at the top has a cap to it, but unfortunately the other points mentioned bring the score down.
Fitur Utama:
- 4-Section Aluminum Monopod
- Maximum Height of 4.7' (143.5 cm)
- Minimum Height of 16.53" (42 cm)
- Weighs Just 7.76 oz (0.22 kg)
