Sirui P-326
Score: 84/100
Victiv Camera Monopod
Score: 76/100Rankings
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 Victiv T72 is an aluminum convertible tripod-monopod with quick flip-lock legs, a wireless remote, and a phone/tablet holder, delivering up to 15 kg load capacity in tripod mode while staying under 2 kg. The head lacks the precision of premium units and the monopod mode reduces load capability. Suited for vloggers and travelers who value rapid setup and accessory integration.
