Which monopod is this? (pics included)

[Inst!nct]

Im trying to find out the brand this is, im buying a 70-300mm IS USM lens today, and the seller (which has been great), is offering this monopod for 10 dollars. Is it worth it? Could anyone point me to a link of this? tyvm

the word is like Simo or maybe Gimo (in the second pic)

 

[WTF?]

its $10, seeing as some monopods get up to 200-$300, you might as well get it. it obviously wont be fantastic, but heck, even if it completely fails as a monopod at least now youve got something to change the channel on the tv if you lose the remote.
just go for it, youll find a use for it, even if it may not be the intended use of the product

Haha that's right i suppose , do you think it'll be able to hold xti + grip + telephoto + flash? that might be pushing it though, but yea

Even if it is terrible, it might hold all that for just a little bit. maybe.

 

[WTF?]

well typically with a monopod youre holding all the gear anyway, the monopod just steadies it and takes the load off, so even if it all collapses underneath you, you'll still have a hold of your equipment.
if it cant hold all your gear, then you can still use it to put a flash on and have it like an extendo-arm for off camera flash

right, well i surely hope itll work at least a bit

That's a steal at $10. Go for it.

 

[J.Kendall]

Exactly. for $10, even if its terrible it'll be worth it.

I bought it, along with the 70-300 (which is absolutely awesome), its actually a Sima monopod, and actually is pretty sturdy, ty for the help
