3 Legged Thing Punks Taylor 2.0
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Taylor 2.0 is a travel-friendly magnesium-alloy monopod offering a remarkable 30 kg load capacity while weighing under half a kilogram. Its lack of an integrated head and limited color options may deter users seeking an all-in-one solution. Ideal for photographers and videographers who prioritize portability and high payload.
The Sirui P-325FL carbon-fiber monopod combines a high 170 cm reach, 10 kg load capacity and a unique three-foot base that tilts 36° for self-standing stability. It lacks an integrated fluid head and its weight is higher than the lightest aluminum models. Ideal for run-and-gun videographers and wildlife shooters who need a versatile, sturdy support that can also function as a mini-tripod.
