    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!

      ***** appreciate it mang! Thanks for stopping by and showing some love!

    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!

    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.

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's too bad, I haven't had any issues with mine and still use it all the time.
      There is potential to over-tighten the column is possible so be careful with that.

    • @netbaud
      @netbaud 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Amazon sent me a replacement within 3 days. I'll keep your suggestion in mind Tomas. Thanks.

    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 ?

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Charles S. all of my most recent videos have this monopod being used. I didn't see the purpose of including sample footage, as it is subjective to the individual using the monopod. I can tell you, this this is extremely stable and it allows for tripod like shots in on the go shooting.

    • @CharlesSchiele
      @CharlesSchiele 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Okay thanks :)

    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.

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

    • @TomasVillegas

      Any opinions with a similar size camera such as the URSA MINI 4.6k. I do use this camera and ordered a Sirui already but I never saw a review with a larger camera mounted on it, just DSLRs. The manufacturer mentions the monopod can support up to 7kgs.

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sound be fine as long as you don't leave the camera standing unattended.

  • @sigb.calamitees
    @sigb.calamitees 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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.

  • @orjanjhmagnusson
    @orjanjhmagnusson 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    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)?

    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.

    @Quinnysings 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

  • @mikewinburn
    @mikewinburn 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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 :)

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +mikewinburn I show it with a Manfrotto 502 fluid head, it is a monopod meaning you shouldn't count on this as a full blown tripod replacement. Keep is light.
      As far as how to pronounce the manufacture's name, you're wrong it's pronounced "Sue-Ray."

    • @mikewinburn
      @mikewinburn 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      thanks, Tomas! looking to use it with a film camera...we all know camera slap on these adds enough vibration on its own, so, saw this product and thought it might work to be "hands off" the monopod w/ cable release. In this way i'm standing right next to it. But, if not stable enough to be "hands off" w equipment on it even at arms length, then i'm better off with an inexpensive tripod. Hence, trying to find a video w someone actually using it with equipment on it. :) Dont get me wrong, this video was superb, partner. You've got my interest sparked, and i'll be heading down to B&H today because of it. good work! much respect

    • @mikewinburn
      @mikewinburn 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Tomas Villegas ... got ya... this one is tough to confirm, but the characters for this company is 思锐 which is pronounced "si" "rui"... converting it to english isn't easy "si" (like the word "look"... we say " l uh k" not "l oo k".. si in this way is pronounced " like "l uh k" : suh not soo; "rui" is very close to "ray' in pronunciation. In chinese the sounds roll together, but they are pronounced separately ... not sure this link will work, but if you visit mdgb.net, and input the word (you need the numbers) " si1" and rui4, you'll be able to hear them pronounced correctly. Just a fun excercise. It's a proper noun, so dont put them in together since there's no word 思锐/si rui it wont come up. Its two words put together to create a name.

    • @mikewinburn
      @mikewinburn 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      oh, by the by, if you use google browser, you can visit sirui.com and google will ask if you want to translate the webpage... select 'no'... then, you'll see the characters this company uses for it's name. If you select 'yes' or automatically have your browser convert it, then you will only see the english equivalent and not the actual chinese. (not really important stuff, of course :) enjoyed the connection. be well

    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.

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Kaizen2013v in my opinion the 502 is a bit too big for the P204S, if possible I'd go for the Sirui fluid head if I were only using it on the monopod. Since you're going share the head between a tripod, I'd go with the 502.
      Hope this helps, thanks for watching!

    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?

      The one shown in this video is great, I don't think you could go wrong with either in all honesty.

    • @VisiVisuals
      @VisiVisuals 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that flip lock is faster than twist lock, it's the only thing holding me back from buying this monopod which do you prefer?
      but the new flip lock version have different feet, I wonder why... maybe for standing in an uneven terrain..

    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 TH-cam videos?

    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

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

    • @TomasVillegas
      @TomasVillegas  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Albert Arriola the carbon fiber is only like 0.3 oz less so save the money and go aluminium. I'm currently using the BeFree fluid head from Manfrotto on it.
