Is this the best monopod for photographers and videographers under £200?

The X-AIRFLY Mono Monopod from Fotopro took me by surprise.

I get asked to review a lot of products. Some I jump at, some I politely decline and some I check before answering.

As soon as I checked out the Fotopro website and the X-AIRFLY Mono, I accepted. For the price it looked very nice indeed.

This monopod is superb and the minute I had it in my hands, I wanted to keep it. Really. It is super light, really well made/machined and is a pleasure to use.

Check out their Facebook Reviews link below to hear from other photographers and filmmakers that feel the same way.
