Product Description
The WalkAbout Air is our most lightweight and compact monopod yet. The WalkAbout Air can be operated with a single leg lock thanks to our new HyperLock leg lock design. Each monopod handle features anodized aluminum, which is available in 7 finishes: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, Purple, Red and Titanium. The translucent handgrip has an adjustable wrist strap, which is great when using as a walking stick on hiking trails. You can easily attach your camera or accessory to the ¼”-20 thread at the top of the monopod. The WalkAbout Air is rated for a maximum payload of 22.1 lb. and weighs just 0.9 lb. What can you do with a monopod? A monopod is great for using as a stabilizer of cameras and long lenses. It provides maximum mobility, which is great for capturing sports and other live events.
Product Features
HyperLock leg locks - Each WalkAbout Air monopod uses our new HyperLock leg lock design, which is much faster than traditional monopods that have multiple leg locks.
Lightweight - Way less to carry around. MeFOTO Air combines strong and lightweight materials making it possible to create a 0.9 lb. monopod.
Compact size - Fits inside small and medium sized bags. This is due to the unique HyperLock leg system where each leg section is nested into one group.
Rigidity - Don’t be fooled by the size and lightweight design. MeFOTO Air is as sturdy as they come. The HyperLock leg lock design is actually superior to some traditional leg locks.
Wrist Strap/Hang Grip - Braided nylon adjustable wrist strap for secure operation coupled with a translucent silicon hand grip for comfort and control.
Customer Reviews
Recently received the MeFoto WalkAbout Air Monopod (Titanium). Here is my initial impression; I own their Roadtrip tripod, and the original WalkAbout Monopod.This Air version is roughly 12 grams less in weight to the original one. I honestly can't feel the difference. However, cumulative, in relationship to all the other weight savings I have incorporated regarding my gear, I am sure to benefit.The leg locking mechanism they refer to as "Hyperlock" is very similar to the locking systems found on my mini tripods with internal telescoping legs. It's very effective compact, and streamlined. The WalkAbout Air (WAA) is a little different in that the Inter-telescoptic aluminum legs are much larger.Over all this feels like a solid product, though it may not seem so, once you extend the legs. It even feels a little more stable than the original one, probably a by-product having to do with the way it is designed to extend.Personally, I think the Air looks better in appearance. I like the silicone grip as oppose the the usual foam grip found on the original and every other monopod and tripod.Two things I think are lacking in this product are the compass knob the original version had, and the ability to remove the rubber friction stop at the end. I wish I had thoroughly looked over the reviews before purchase, I would have noticed a mention of this omission, I also purchased a stabilizing tripod foot that obviously wont attach because of this.Now, of course this monopod is not meant withstand heavy force, so don't expect it to remain securely locked once extended and you are leaning on it. I do believe however that it will hold my mirrorless camera rig firmly in place.
