Victiv Camera Monopod
Score: 76/100
Neewer 66.5-Inch Camera Monopod
Score: 72/100Rankings
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.
The Neewer TP42 is a lightweight aluminum monopod with a 66.5-inch reach and a strong 10 kg payload, suited for travel and outdoor shooting. Its drawbacks include possible rigidity loss at full extension and the absence of a built-in handle or case. Best for photographers and vloggers needing a compact, high-capacity support on the move.
