Love the look of this monopod, and it's adaptability ! Thank you for the presentation of this nice monopod !

Great video Tomas! Out of all of the monopods I've seen, this one just looks to be the most solid and customizable. Keep up the great work!

I got this monopod recently. It's awesome. Makes my life so much easier when it comes to shooting video.

I totally agree. I've had mine for about a year now and it is a total game changer. I shoot a lot of high end stuff often with two cameras with my dslr as my second camera. Absolutely functional. And it allows nice movement that can simulate steady cam shots. And for the price, its a no brainer. Get it. Period!

Well articulated Video giving complete details of the SIRUI P-204s. have been studying various monopods and after seeing your video am just going ahead getting one

Thanks...already have the Sirui W-2204 tripod and the VH-10x Video head. Planning on getting this tripod soon.

Nice review, thank you.

"You did an EXCELLENT job on this video by explaining, in great detail, the versatility and build quality of this product, and It's one of the many reasons that I have considered this monopod as a purchase. Again, great job and thank You".

Great video brother, and great information. Thanks for sharing!

Man I was waiting for this video from you T! And u knock it out of the park

Good review, Thanks.

Awesome video man...making me consider one of these!

These types of monopods are so useful on the go.

I will definitely be picking one of these up at some point this year. I think this would be perfect to drag along to CES. I'll make sure to use you affiliate link when I do pick one up. Thanks for the video.

Two years after this video is out, this is STILL the worlds best monopod. Just awesome!

Great video dude! Amazing looking monopod. I use monopods more than anything and I hate the Manfrotto one. Can't believe so many people have it when things like this and the Benro's are available.

Ordered this monopod. Can’t wait to unbox.. 😃

Great video, I have the King Joy KT100 and KT 200 tripod, use them all the time, I have also done unboxing and reviews on both of these.

Thank you! Very helpful.

First!!! Love this monopod! Nice work my man

absolutely excellent review, not so much because of parts of the monopod, but sharing your real world experience! Thank you!

I just bought this, I was simply looking for a stand to use with my single handed gimbal (Zhiyun Crane) and here I am spending a bit more money and ending up with a Monopod I didn't originally want but this thing looks great, I got it mainly for the base but I bet I'll end up using the whole package as a tripod replacement when I don't want to lug that thing around. Nice review, seeing you take apart the base and showing it's locked position plus the fact that it can be switched to 1/4 screw totally sold me on it -- I wanted to get a Manfrotto to match everything else I have but that was the ticket.

Great video man! This thing definitely looks sweet.

A great video & review!😀👍 Well done.

Amazing work Tomas keep up the good work

Really informative. Great vid.

it looks really sturdy

excellent work!

great review. thank you sir

I am a lucky owner of the P-204SR model :) I work mainly with a Sony PXW-Z280 video camera plus accessories and due to the fact that I travel a lot, the possibility of distributing the monopod and practically putting it in the hand luggage is invaluable. The quality is excellent and additional advantage is the weight of 1.3kg ... just great! I heartily recommend.

Fantastic review.

Posted a new video today! Check out the world's best #monopod by #Sirui : The #SiruiP204S is a fine piece of engineering! If you make videos, it's a must have.

Thanks: ordered.

awesome vid bro! I need a mic first but I will look into this in the future!

Good find need a monopod for IFA ill defo give this a good look

Now i really want this.

I just received mine yesterday and could not figure a few things out. The instructions are microscopically small and tell you very little. This video was GREAT and cleared everything up right away. Professionally done, this video should accompany the product which exceeded all of my expectations! Go Sirui! And thank you for the excellent video!

I bought this monopod on Ebay last week. Should be here soon...hurry up UPS hurry up!

It would have been great to see some test footage shot with the monopod :/ How is the stability compared to its competitors, I've always kind of avoided monopods because they didn't give me perfect sability during my shots, is this one (with its larger feet) any different ? Is it really stable and allow you to get as stable as a tripod ?

You sound like Kevin Costner lol, cool review btw.. getting this badboy for sure! Thanks!

Ok I'm getting one

Great review Tomas! Makes me regret buying my Benro = )

I agree👍

Great video Thomas. Can you tell me the folded length of the monopod when it is removed from the legs.

si-ru-i!

Cool.....

Hi thanks - 2 questions - what size does it breakdown to and I notice from one of your other videos that you have the Sirui fluid head, do you prefer that to the manfrotto one.

The Worlds Best? .... You are totally right! 👍 I've had mine about 2 years or so and never really used it for the purpose I bought it (Aviation Photography) but now I'm back into my Sports Photography (mainly ⚽) I really wanted to use my Nikon D500 With the Nikor 200 - 500 5.6 Lens, and yes you know it it's not pleasant holding that combo up for 2 x 45 mins and longer. So out came the Sirui P-204SR and problem solved. I also have every confidence in keeping the camera and lens still attached while moving to another area of the field, something I've found a bit nervy with cheaper built mono pods. The fact that it has those feet to is great, as long as there's no wind or anyone to bump into it's perfectly fine to have a break without leaning it against you or a wall etc When I bought mine in July 2020 it was £145 from Amazon now it is £139 so steady price and what a buy. Thanks for uploading because I wasnt aware that the feet would not sit properly with the centre spike or bung attached. Cheers Quinny

Hi: Do you know if Sirui VA-5 Ultra-Compact Video Head is a good choice for the Monopod to add the smooth panning and tension adjustment if this head has that?

Hey man great video. Would these be strong enough for my panasonic gh4?

I was waiting for this video from you, and then ended up accidentally skipping it. I liked you explanation and details, I'm 110% positive I'll end up buying this in the future but just don't have the budget for it currently. Anyways keep up the good videos, I recommend maybe background music not sure if your into that. Oh yeah quick question, how long have you been making KZfaq videos?

Great video: I find using monopod with 5” monitor on top of camera standing back far enough to see image on screen very hard to hold stand. If I put camera up to my eye it’s very steady.Is there a way to hold monopod steady with it back far enough to see image on monitor? I am using a video head on top of monopod.. I need help. Thanks in advance. Bob

You should check out the iFootage Cobra 2 Strike. Better than this in every aspect except for the the beveled screw lock to keep the monopod straight up and down. And yes you sound like Kevin Costner HAHA

I would like to know the max height with the three little legs opened and the fluid head VH10 attached and the minimum height with no head and the lower part of the monopod detached. Thanks a lot!

I hope you or someone else would help me figure out something about this monopod. Although I have a tripod (Genesis C5) and monopod (Velbon Sherpa Pro pod8), I am saving to buy both a steadycam (Genesis SteadyCam Pro Carbon) and one of the bigger Sirui P-___s. Perhaps I would just need the Sirui, it depends............ 1. Can you check where the center of gravity is along the pod if balancing it in collapsed mode? 2. Can you do the same with your biggest camera attached (pehaps a video head as well) (above a soft bed or something)? 3. Only help me with the next one if you feel it's risk free. Is there a way to part the pod in two near the center of gravity, hopefully at the top blue collar (where the handle above is designed to pan)?

Can somebody help me out with this? i've had this thing for a while but i just find it far to shaky for video, even when completely still, racking focus I get shake with it, panning is a no go (siriu fluid head)... I really want to like this monopod.. what's the deal? am i missing something?

so i got excited and accidentally tightened the mounting screw into the top into the monopod without the adapter plate and now the screw is stuck. Any ideas on how i can get it out? please help

Good review, I'm looking for a solution to get hand-held high shots. I'm assuming yes, but can you confirm that I can use the dual screw adapter to attach to the bottom of the P204S, then screw in a light camera, and fully extend the monopod? Thanks.

The only thing missing is the ability to remove one of the extension sections.

This review is 3 years old what would you suggest now?

Hey Tomas, thanks for the helpful vid. I just got one myself and Im loving how sturdy and portable it is. Ive watched you're more recent video and I know you've paired it with a matching Sirui fluid head. I was wondering how you liked the old setup (in this video) of the P-204S & the Manfrotto 502 HD Pro. Did you find it uneven or unbalanced? Since I already have some 055PROBX Stix I thought Id get the Manfrotto head and share it between tripod and monopod. But if you think I should get something smaller for the monopod, let me know.

may i ask how did the changing colors in the intro? What is that effect called?

Doesn't this also help with video stabilizing?

Thanks for posting the review very good review ... Is it sturdy enough to accommodate a monitor with a DSLR ?

it would be nice if you could show us how the monopod works with larger cameras such as the blackmagic URSA MINI

whay dont you show it with a camera instaled ? tthat i want to se

can i use a manfrotto 502 head? on this monopod?

nice video overall... only came up short because you didn't actually attach any equipment to the head so we can see how it handles weight on it's head...namely how stable it will be when equipment is on it. (as an aside, this product is from china, so the pronunciation will be "si - rui" versus 'su-ray") thanks for posting. i'll go check it out at B&H :)

Do they have replacement parts?

How can I fix it if my feet fell off?

dear Thomas, planning to buy Panasonic AJ PX 270 video cameras...do u suggest this monopod with Benro S6 head a right combo??..pl suggest

I wonder why i purchased Sirui P-326 with no legs ... should have researched more ... tough luck ..

hey bro any tripod you recommend?

Hi Tomas, I just saw a new version of this monopod but with flip lock and different feet (looks like a mogopod feet) in the website en.zssirui.com (maybe chinese/asian) not available anywhere else yet.. the model is EP-204S and EP-224S, I believe they have the same price as the twist lock model, I always thought flip lock is better because it's quicker just flip on and off, I wonder which one is better.. what do you prefer? Do you think I should wait until it's available?

I bought this monopod last week over Amazon and took it out for an evening casual shoot yesterday. Everything was great about this monopod until it refused the center collapsible column just refused to close. I tried whatever I could, but it just refused. I just placed an order for a return/replacement over Amazon. After my first experience with this product, I'm not too confident if I would use it on some important shoots.

What are you cooking at 05:05 ? 😁

Awesome Tomas. Just to ask, can it be possible to remove the 3 foot wings completely?

How about using it for timelapse shooting, leaving it unattended with camera in open and normal wind. Stable enough or will there be shakes?

Hola Tomas! Do you know any afordable video head to use with this monopod ? Benros ?

awesome review just needs some samples.

finally I got a monopod Benro S4

Excellent, but I'm disappointed after waiting for a full 'in use' view. There was nothing showing the monopod with equipment attached and working.

Why did you choose aluminum over the carbon fiber? What's the BIG difference?

2 questions 1. Do you recommend the aluminum or carbon fiber for wedding work using the GH5? 2. What fluid head are you using?

does this monopod fits on sony fdr ax53?

Anyone know if this is stable enough to mount a 13" slider?

Getting a bit curious. I've heard multiple americans pronounce this "Sue Ray" when it's spelled "Si-Ru-i". Is this something that just spread from reviewer to reviewer or do the chinese somehow pronounce their name really funky?

The correct pronunciation is See Roo E not Soo Ray

What's cooking Gilbert Grapes, hehehe

How did you add all those changing colors in the intro? What is that effect called?

SOO-REY = SEE-ROO-EEE

All day long?

Is it Kevin Costner narrating!?! 🙏

Sirui is not pronounced "sue ray". I had Siri pronounce it for me and she said Sirui this way "See ru ee" Who knows. You might be right. Could be from a different country's way of saying it

Name is pronounced See-Roux-Ee

its not the best, I bought same monopod bottom leg won't extend called customer service they said they only talk with there dealers no help what so ever. Looks elsewhere for a monopod.

its not SU RE, its SI RUI (C RUI)

Make sure you pronounce the product name correctly. It's see-roo-wee not soo-rei. FYI

En version Française ce serait mieux !

Nice but aesthetically it looks cheap. Its not the worlds best.
