Thank you for viewing. The aluminum, extendable VPM-305BK provides stable shooting support. It's ideal for outdoor photography, sports photography, nature photography, field scopes, binoculars, and stable setups. - Model Name: VPM-305BK - Brand Name: king - Grip Type: Rubber grip - Features: Extendable Extended Length: 160cm Collapsed Length: 50cm Weight: 425g Number of Sections: 5 I used it a few times for shooting things like my child's school festival. Tripods can be cumbersome to carry and move around, but a monopod isn't as difficult, and it's convenient because it has a shoulder strap. When shooting video, it's tiring to hold the camera, but this made it easier to shoot with less blurring. There are no noticeable stains, but it's been stored at home, so please understand. #king #VPM-305BK #camera #video #monopod
