The Sirui P-306 Aluminum Monopod is a lightweight camera support that's ideal for extremely mobile operation with a DSLR, point and shoot camera, or a compact camcorder. For some situations, such as tourist locations where tripod use is prohibited, a monopod is the perfect way to fly under the radar but still ensure steady shots. The six-section P-306 weighs just 1.1 lb and folds down to 15", so the monopod is an ideal travel companion – compact, lightweight, and ready to be set up quickly and easily. Extremely sturdy, the monopod supports loads up to 17.6 lb. Its five leg stages extend to a generous working height of 60.6", for comfortable eye-level operation for most users.
