Score: 70/100
Neewer 72-inch Tripod
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Neewer N284+G0 serves as both a full-size tripod and monopod, delivering a robust 15 kg load capacity and a ball head with bubble levels. Its aluminum build makes it heavier and bulkier than carbon options. Geared toward professionals requiring high payload and flexible configurations.
The Koolehaoda K-266 is a lightweight six-section aluminum monopod that folds to 38 cm and supports up to 10 kg, offering a dual-purpose design for hiking and photography. Its aluminum build and lack of premium features trade off some durability and functionality. Best suited for budget-conscious outdoor photographers who value portability over high-end performance.
