Thank Wedding Film School for such an INFORMATIVE review of Sirui monopod. I love it when you demonstrate the disadvantage of this tool. That is while folding, you jam you hand skin into the lock and it hurts. As of today, June 15th, 2024, this model is discontinued. The newer models look better. I will try them later.

Before I bought my first legit monpod (about a year ago) I did a ton of research and found that the Sirui seemed to be the better piece of equipment. Bought it and loved it, but then I broke it. So I decided to buy the Manfrotto just to see what I was missing. Hated it immediately and switched it out for another Sirui. Love it!

This monopod is incredible! I've bought it by your advice and tested it out yesterday. Feels pretty awesome! The build quality is quite good. I'm totally satisfied! Thanks Kraig. 😊

I am a lucky owner of the P-204SR model which has the same functions. 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.

I went for the slightly more expensive model (426) and couldn't be happier, Kraig! I couldn't agree more with you and I too lean it towards the ground for lower angle shots. After years of using an entry-level tripod, this equipment has been a magnificent product as I recently showed in a video. I'll be showing how I create custom links for genius link shortening service using my own domain next where I'm giving a shout to your channel, so thanks for all the inspiration lately!!

The annoiance of setting up tripods is pretty much gone for me since I use the Manfrotto triaut 058b. The leg system is amazing on that one. It is heavy and if you want to, you can reach incredible height with it. If you are able to carry the weight, I can totally recommend that one. It has been my main tripod for years, and I still use my first one. They are build like a tank.

Thanks for the video. This is my favorite monopod. I have had camera drop before when an old lady walked passed, grabbed the monopod and dragged it down arggghhhhh. But apart from the one time it's been perfect. If you are shooting outdoors and you are planning on leaving it for a while, I would suggest sandbags. Great monopod, 2nds as a light camera tripod and 3rd as a light stand.

I love this mono-pod. Almost went with the crowd on the Manfrotto and am so glad I chose this one. By the way I could not find the value in the more expensive carbon fiber. The basic $159 model will do most people just fine.

Hi there, you may need to check the instructions of your monopod, the lower section can be detached from the pod, and you'd get then a shorter platform that would pan and tilt from the base actually. by doing so you also win having this shorter platform and a standard monopod, using the extra top base and spike that comes with it. If it's not completely clear to you (forgive my english) have a look into this vid, it explains it very well. You seem to have the same pod, but the fiber version. /watch?v=jvf-UuCdeYg

Hey Kraig, Love your videos. I have been using the Sirui monopod for over 4 years. I hated the foam grip so I wrapped a tennis wrap grip on mine (Wilson Tennis Racquet Grip) Awesome for grip for your monopod when your run and gunning.

Hey Kraig, do you think it's possible to use the SIRUI Sirui P-204S to attach my gimbal on to? I'm asking because I don't know what the 1/4 thread is made out of and I'm hoping it can support 5lbs, so it won't snap, like my own personal monopod did.
