Product Description
The Sirui P-326 6-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod is an extremely lightweight camera support that's ideal for mobile operation with a DSLR, point & 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. Composed of 8x carbon fiber, the six-section P-326 weighs just 0.9 lb and folds down to 15", so the monopod is an ideal travel companion - compact, very lightweight, and ready to be set up quickly & easily. Extremely sturdy, the monopod supports loads up to 22 lb. Via twist locks, its five leg stages extend to a generous working height of 60.6", for comfortable eye-level operation for most users. Reversible 1/4"-20 & 3/8"-16 screw on mounting plate enables the attachment of virtually any camera, camcorder, or head Durable silicone twist locks enable fast leg-stage extension and prevent inadvertent collapse Foam grip for comfortable, secure operation and mitigation of extremely cold temperatures Wrist strap for security in case the operator's grip slips

The monopod comes with a hand strap with a sort of cheap compass. I have heard it doesn't work well but I checked it out against the compass on my iPhone and if you hold it flat on your finger it is accurate. The hand strap comes off if you choose to have it less bulky although it doesn't make it bulky enough you'd want to remove it.
The monopod comes in 5 sections. Most of the time, at least in the aluminum,the 5 section monopod starts to have some give to it when you have it fully open. This carbon tripod does not have that problem. This thing is very solid. The foot comes with a retractable spike. Don't know what would happen if you have to replace the rubber foot but I haven't heard anyone complain their rubber foot wears out. Think you would have to use this every day for quite a while before it would wear down.
Btw here are the specs:Model:P-326
Material: Carbon Fiber
Sections: 6
Tube Max Dia: 32mm/1.3inch
Tube Min Dia: 16mm/0.6inch
Max Hgt: 1560mm/61.4inch
Min Hgt: 395mm/15.6inch
Weight: 0.4kg/0.9lb
Load: 10kg/22lb
At 15.6" fully closed and less than 1 lb this tripod hits all the things on my checklist. I'm looking for a ball head a bit down the road or I could use it with the camera attached directly to the monopod. You do have a choice of a tilt ball head which gives you more control on the monopod since it has only one lever and it doesn't pan. You could also use a regular ball head if you find one with only one lever. If you have two many levers you'll be trying to adjust the ball head and the monopod will become harder to handle.
Watching the reviews on youtube.com a few people mentioned that the newer models have a two piece tab if you pull it out all the way. The older models evidently have a one piece tab that makes it much easier to remove and reapply it in case you have to take the monopod out and clean it. Also the newer models the neoprene grip is not tightly glued and it does have some play in it. Whether this is an older model or an even newer model than they reviewed this particular monopod I received does have the one piece tab.
The neoprene hand grip is a nice little touch though. For aluminum monopods and tripods this is helpful when it's cold. For carbon fiber monopods it does hold a bit of the cold but not as much as aluminum. Nice feature to have just in case.
The rubber grips to unscrew are very easy to handle. You could easily get your whole hand around them and turn them all at once. The carbon fiber legs move very easily.
My one wish is that the monopod came with a ball head. I realize though it would add to the price.
For the price and what this monopod offers it's pretty much a no brainer to purchase this.
I used this monopod for some freelance video work with "run and gun" style shooting. The twist-able extension grips were fast and easy to use, and have a confident locking friction that feels very high quality. The fact that the sections don't rotate within their shafts really does make a world of difference when it comes to accurately and quickly adjusting height, and its easy to get to a point where you can fully unlock all of the legs sanctimoniously with one hand.
I knocked one star because like I said this lasted up until this year. I am very respectful of my gear and treat it nicely, but the bottom most section still somehow disconnected on the inside of the monopod and now falls out of its sleeve. I think it has to do with twisting the friction locks, which work against the connecting mechanism that keeps the sections from rotating independently. The torque caused by this twisting constantly works against the pin/rivet/nub holding the legs in line, and that piece is not robust enough to handle extensive use.
Its a shame because every aspect of this monopod is built with precision and seemingly high quality parts, but its Achilles heel is a small connection joint made just a hair too brittle.
Would I buy it again? I'm not sure that I would, only because I may as well try another brand. But what I will say is that this product taught me exactly what I like to have in a monopod, and the next one I purchase will have specs as similar to this one as possible.
I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
Top reviews from other countries
Ho avuto altri monopiedi in passato, ma la praticità del presente articolo è unica. Ne avevo sentito parlare molto bene sul web da diverse fonti autorevoli ed ho voluto provarlo in prima persona. Che dire, un acquisto azzeccatissimo.
Certamente inadatto alle esposizioni lunghe, tuttavia rispetto ad un treppiede, un monopiede come questo è molto più facilmente trasportabile, permette una certa mobilità della fotocamera anche per i video, è più rapido da estendere ed è utilizzabile in spazi ristretti (cerimonie) o in posti dove chi ha l'ingombro di un treppiede di solito non è visto con favore.
Senza contare che la leggerissima fibra di carbonio di cui è costituito questo strumento e la presenza del gancio, rende possibile persino agganciarlo senza problemi ai pantaloni o all'esterno di uno zaino non predisposto.
Ruotando il piedino in gomma, fuoriesce una punta d'acciaio, utile sulle superfici più morbide ed irregolari.
Presente anche una bussola attaccata al gancio, ma finora non ho avuto occasione di sfruttarla.
Prodotto straconsigliato a chiunque cerchi un monopiede.
I'm not a professional though I'm an amateur photographer, & I'm getting into wildlife photography. I must agree, I don't know why these two well reputed companies (SIRUI for SIRUI P-326 & Nikon for Nikon 200-500mm F5.6) sold their products at such a low price! Anyways let me divide it into pros & cons.
CONS(We judge negative aspects first)-
1) Opening this monopod to its fullest with a lens like 200-500mm attached, there is a slight shake/wobblieness at the end section of the monopod. (I know, everyone would say why opening all the sections? So for all those, I just wanted to be sure that is it really that good?!)
2) This won't be a deal breaker for some but for me it was as I by chance forgot to remove the attached clip & string that comes with this monopod & while doing bird photography mainly, a slightest of that noise alerted the birds & they flew away. (You can say my fault, though it was).
3) I wished this monopod came with a carrying case, which was a let down for me.
4) I'm not sure, but I'm using Nikon D5300 with Nikon 200-500mm, which this monopod held all the burden like a champ! Don't know about other Heavier Bodies Mounted on it. So it's neither a CON nor PRO.
5) A worthless compass attached to it! It's like a toy which I used to play in childhood. *LOL*
PROS-
1) Carbon Fiber! I don't know who made the design of this product, but that man should definitely get a cookie! This monopod is one of the best of all in this department. Carbon Fiber is light & absorbs shocks more properly than all metals! It is a huge bonus for me.
2) Ever wondered why all "PROS" use Carbon Fiber Monopods & Tripods? It's because of their durability & easy handling. It's light weight & compact.
3) I was not sure about this product to reach my height level, but oh boy! It just nailed it. I'm 178cm & this gets even taller than my eye level if you open all the sections to the fullest.
4) It is so compact when folded, that my Camera bag looks bigger than this monopod.
5) I guess this is the only monopod which has a spike underneath the foot(Under 7K). This spike was a huge bonus for me, especially while shooting wildlife.
6) Even the rotating knobs are made out of Carbon Fiber! No cheap rubber!
7) The foam is very well made & prolong usage of it while holding it, sweat is kept to it's minimum.(Depends on your hands).
BONUS TIPS-
1) Please never ever open 'ANY MONOPOD' to it's fullest! It's because if some sections would be inside, then it would increase more stability & wouldn't wobble at all.
2) If you are getting into wildlife, get this monopod & a ball head of SIRUI K-10X/ OBEN BE-117. It would definately help you out with panning shots as well as while doing vertical shots.
3) While using heavy lens like Nikon 200-500mm or anyother, always mount your tripod collar with the Monopod/Tripod Screw.
4) Never ever, I mean it! NEVER EVER hold your camera with lens like 200-500mm attached to it. You won't even notice, but soon your mount would get damaged & it would result in an very expensive repair! So always hold your Tripod/Monopod collar which came with your lens. Another thing, NEVER EVER use a camera strap hanging on your neck with heavy lenses attached to camera body.(It's due to the same reason I stated earlier).
5) Always mount the lens first on Tripod/ Monopod & then mount your camera with the lens.
Are you people still reading this? Should I give you more explanation regarding this product? It's so good after Nikon 200-500mm that one can't resist buying one! "CARBON FIBER" It's the same material from which Lambos are made! Go buy it right away!
Conclusion- If you want to take wildlife photography as your career or want to be serious regarding your photography, this monopod is worth every penny!
For any queries contact me. Happy Shooting!
*2020 Update*
I've been using this Monopod for over 3 years & it's easily able to support both my Nikon D850/D500 along with Nikon 200-500mm. Also, one side note, I was on a trip & I somehow ended having sand inside the monopod legs. It's an advice to clean them instantly as it will be very hard for anyone to remove afterwards (in my case it was). And even after that, the monopod is working the same as I got it in 2017!
