I have a Slik EZ monopod (6205) which is all black (not the red & black they seem to sell today). Otherwise, it looks the same. It is very light and would probably make a fine walking stick. I can't say that it appears to be worth the price they are asking for it. Honestly think it should sell for close to half that price. The only reason that this is my monopod is that I found it new in the box at a thrift store for $3, so it followed me home. Still, I haven't found a pressing need to replace it yet and others seem to give it good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Slik-Pod-Monopod-Head-Quick-Release/dp/B00009MKHA
Took it out to capture a female Cardinal in a neighbor's tree with the Bigma this morning: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelsmithy/8437429011/in/photostream/lightbox/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
