Product ReviewsVivitar VT-67 Monopod

Sturdy and lightweight, holds camera securely

This monopod is light enough to be easy to carry (I'm a 62 year old with back and heart problems, so I mean - it's REALLY light). It is, despite how light it feels, very sturdy and the extensions release for extension and lock in place easily and securely.

It has greatly reduced the number of photos I have to delete due to hand-shake blurriness (old lady, remember?). It has also helped me to climb an embankment more confidently because I had the monopod extended and used it as a walking stick! I was just climbing to the top of a hill, not a mountain, though!Read full review...

Excellent value for money

Vivitar camera supports have been an excellent tool for me in the past and still prove to be excellent value for money today.
Well designed and made, they never give you any difficulties in use, nor failure to do their job in the field.
The leg clamps are excellent in design and use.
The foam grip is comfortable and well sized.
The maximum height is more than needed.
The only minor criticism I could make is that the minimum length is a bit too long for my shoulder bag. If each section was slightly shortened [5-10mm], then the overall height would still be sufficient and the minimum length more compact.Read full review...

Worth the effort to learn to use one

It takes a bit to get used to a mono-pod, but it is so light and convenient, you will want to practice. This is a very good one shipped fast at a good price.

Good Value

Vivitar makes some things well, some things very well. This is very well made as a value monopod that will support a long lens. Light in the hand, strong locks, nimble quick release, channel locks are easy for older hands and firm when engaged. Turn the rubber foot, and a spike is revealed. It's a monopod, not a tripod, so use it accordingly. Not as compact as others, but an excellent trade-off for rigidity. If you shoot sports every day or bird every weekend in wilderness, consider a carbon fiber model for 5 - 10 times the price. If you don't plan to beat the heck out of your monopod with constant use and rough conditions, this should serve you well, and the money is well spent for the price. Read full review...

This is a great product and very tall.

This is a great Mono-pod. The quality is pretty good and very stern. It's very tall and pretty light.
I bought this for my external flash though, I might use this when I travel or definitely when I'm at a sporty environment. I would recommend this brand and product to a photographer. Why buy an expensive one that has the exact same features?

***THIS WAS JUST FOR MY EXPERIMENT***
I just wish I could unscrew the bottom point thing off (The part that goes into the ground). If I could take that part off I could buy a mini tripod and screw it on the bottom, thus making a very tall tripod for my external flash for cheap.Read full review...

Light, inexpensive, well built.

Light, inexpensive, well built. If you've ever carried a heavy or even a light tripod around for along period of time, you know that they can be bulky, heavy. There are even some venues that forbid using a tripod because of the spread of the legs causing a walking hazard. This little guy hangs on your shoulder in the supplied case. Note that it cannot replace a sturdy tripod, but for most snapshots, and even some slow shutter speed photos, it will steady the camera if you know how to brace it against you body using your elbows. I've cut way down on blurry shots. I use a high end Canon point and shoot. I have not had the opportunity to mount a heavy DSLR or video camera, but I'm sure it would do the job.Read full review...

Excellent monopod.

The VT-67 is perfect in every way. The price can't be beat and the quality of the product is great. The tubing extends smoothly and the clamps for adjusting the telescoping tubing work just like they should. I bought this for use with a 100-400mm zoom and it is just what was needed to steady the camera/lens combo. This will even fit in carry-on luggage. Get one, you will be glad you did.Read full review...

Mono vs tri

The one leg makes for interesting corrections in Lightroom but the pic is sharp w/o shake at 1/4 sec.

Effective light weight support

Not bad for the money. But no quick release is the biggest defect in design. Even-though the monopod is light, it's still a trouble extension that one would like to be able quickly install and remove. Turning the screw every single time just not the way.

The monopod does work for help stabilize the camera for telephoto or shot in darker situation. And it's much easy to carry around than the full tripot. This simple design works and provide good standing support.Read full review...

I used this monopod recently while on a trip to Washington DC. While I'm certainly no "photographer" I'm a pretty good "picture taker". This was of great assistance during the trip and worked very well for me. Not too heavy; not too long when folded up and when unfolding (sometimes one-handed) it was very easy to handle.Read full review...
