Sirui P-326
Score: 84/100
Neewer 72-inch Tripod
Score: 77/100Rankings
The Sirui P-326 carbon-fiber monopod combines ultra-light weight with a solid 10 kg load capacity and a suite of accessories, making it a strong choice for travel photographers. Its drawbacks include occasional load-capacity confusion and a twist-lock system that may feel less robust for very heavy lenses. Best suited for hikers, street shooters, and videographers who prioritize portability without sacrificing load capability.
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.

Professional reviewers consistently praise the P-326 for its ultra-light carbon-fiber construction, quick twist-lock deployment, solid 10 kg load capacity and travel-friendly folded size, positioning it as a high-value option under $100. However, they caution that the unit may feel insufficiently robust for super-telephoto lenses and note the occasional discrepancy in advertised load limits.
Everyday users celebrate the monopod's packability, low weight and reliable stability, especially for hiking, street photography and video work. Common complaints revolve around load-capacity confusion, limited height for very tall users, and the desire for a built-in head or a cheaper aluminum alternative.
Professional reviewers praise the Neewer N284+G0 as a top-tier, value-driven tripod that combines a robust aluminum alloy build with versatile adjustment features. Its high load capacity, Arca-type plate, and convertible monopod design are highlighted as strengths for demanding photography and video work, while its lightweight, compact form is noted as ideal for on-the-go professionals.
