Vidpro MP-10 - Monopod

(21 customer reviews)

If you like taking pictures of yourself -- or pictures of friends and family that include yourself -- there's no substitute for the new Photo Wand! Photo Wand is an easy-to-use telescoping camera mount -- you attach your camera to the end of it (it screws into the tripod socket on the bottom of your camera), press the self-timer button, extend it, and say cheese. There's no simpler way for you to get in pictures.

There are many times when there's no safe or convenient place to put a camera on top of a tripod. And digital cameras are just too expensive to trust handing them over to some stranger to take a picture of you and your friends. That's when you'll really be glad you brought your Photo Wand with you. Whether you want to put your face on My Space or anywhere else in cyberspace -- or just want pictures for your photo album -- you will love the Photo Wand. It's great for parties and after work get-togethers and everyone wants to be in the picture. No more having to choose who gets left out of the picture.

The old fashioned way of holding the camera at arm's length just doesn't do the trick. Your arm's too short to get a complimentary picture -- when the camera is too close, the perspective is distorted and the flash is too harsh -- faces tend to look like they belong in a horror movie. The Photo Wand will give you a self-portrait that won't scare people off. Guaranteed. (Well, not really. But it really does take a better picture than having the camera too close to your face). The Photo Wand extends all the way out to more than 27 inches. Besides self-portraits, it's terrific for shooting over people's heads when you're in a crowd or when you want to get a bird's eye view of a scene. There's also the opportunity to have a lot of fun in surprising your friends and family by unexpectedly taking candid shots of them from around corners with the Photo Wand. Only the boundary of your imagination limits how much fun you can have with Photo Wand!

A good idea, but... Oct 20, 2010
By William C. Davis
The ball-jointed end has no way to be locked in place, and is too loose to be useful with heavier cameras.

Perhaps the best photo accessory I've ever bought Mar 16, 2010
By A Karl in Elk Grove
The Vidpro MP-10 works as advertised -- great results, and no searching for waiters or other strangers to take your picture while out and around. It's like having an arm that's 6 feet long. The only important thing to keep in mind is that your camera should have a "kids and pets" or "close-up portrait" setting, so that the camera will focus on you and not your background surroundings. Otherwise, it's unbelievably economical, light, compact, seems to be plenty sturdy, the telescoping feature stays stuck out there, and the connector for the camera tripod mount has a set screw to help secure your point-and-shoot tightly to the end of the wand. Highly recommended!

A Handy Tool To Have May 16, 2009
By Catharsis "Renshai Forever"
You wouldn't think so but it comes in handy - I'm glad I have it... Actually so glad that I wouldn't have minded (now) to have bought the other more expensive types out there available. They are a little longer and have one or two more functions (I forget what they were) I think flexibility or something... But really in the long run you'll forget about the few dollars more that you end up spending and you'll appreciate the little extra stuff that comes along... But having something is certainly better than not having it, so if you really wanna just save money? You can't go wrong - and it might be worth having a few lying around anyway. You'll end up like me - buy this one first to see if you like it and then buy another to have two hanging around. So in closing: I like the arm and suggest having it in with the mix of stuff I'm sure you already have. No?

Don't move!!! Jan 18, 2011
By M. Menez
Overall it is a decent monopod especially when taking shots over a crowd or tracking from floor level. I use my GoPro action camera. When it comes to making quick moves while having something as heavy as my GoPro (which is actually not heavy at all) attached to it, forget it. the telescoping arms are loosely locked into place by friction rather than any twist-screw dial. When I tried to pan quickly to capture snowboarding jumps the camera would suddenly fall and twist upside down. Don't even think about using a video shooting DSLR on it. way too heavy.

For stationary or slow moving shots: GREAT!

For action/pan video shots: FAIL!

better to find something that tightens completely into place.

Good deal for price but has a couple of issues Nov 01, 2010
By J. Robertson
Good deal for price but has a couple of issues. The ball joint is a little too loose and there is no way to tighten. I had difficulty keeping the fairly lightweight GoPro stable. The other issue has to do with the locking ring. The rubber pad keeps it from locking properly and thus the camera still rotates on the threads. This problem is easily solved by turning the locking ring upside down.

Edit: Ball joint failed after only a few weeks and would no longer hold camera in position. Now would not recommend at any price.
