Do You Need This Monopod? | Sirui P-224SR First Impressions

Do You Need This Monopod?

This is the first installment of First Take Friday and today's topic is my first impressions of the Sirui P-224SR monopod. It is not a full-blown review but more my first feelings around the monopod, build quality, uses, and is it a worthwhile buy. Subsequent review to follow (probably many months down the road - as it should be ;)

I'm creating a new little weekly series called First Takes Friday where I post the first take (no-retakes) of the video. This one just happens to be a First Impression of the Sirui P224 Monopod which seemed like a good way to finally post a video after a short little hiatus. I hope everyone enjoys and has a wonderful weekend!

First take Friday sounds like a cool concept. Totally agree with the "reviews" after only briefly using something...very little value! Thanks for the first impressions. Cheers!

That looks pretty cool Rob. I don’t use a monopod, but I was thinking the other day they’d come in handy for airshows or all day bird shooting. Just so you could give your arms a break every now and then. Especially if you’re lugging a 600mm prime lens. First take Friday looks like a great concept. Look forward to seeing more 👍🙏. Have a great weekend 📸

Hey Rob, Thanks for the review. I also have the 224 but what I dont like about it is that it is quite shaky when extended. Do you have any ideas how to fix that, am I missing something or is it normal?

monopods are designed for photography not videos to support your big lens for sports
