Once you use this you never go back to old 3 clicks monopod. This one is fast as rocket. I never miss any shot now. Stability is insane.
A team of videographers saw me with this monopd. They tried and now all of them uses this after my purchase.

Overall the stand is well put together. I found that the stand was pricey but the quality and build was above average. If you use the stand for small point and shoot cameras or product shots, it's a great stand but if your panning to put a light on the stand or an expensive camera be careful not to tip the stand over if you bump in to it. The bottom base could be larger and more sturdy. Aside from this, I love the stand and hopeful the company would look into this quality control issue and improve the product.

This is a monopod with great design and manufacture. I like the quick release design, which can quickly mount/release the fluid head on the monopod or the base tripod. The pedal lock/control design is also a perfect design. The only point I'm not very satisfied is that when the quick release screw on fluid head, sometimes it loose. Then when I carried my camera on the monopod, the camera seems not that safe.

I purchased the carbon fibre version, It is well worth the money. Love the versatility of it. I already ordered a second mounting plate. It easily handles my D500 with grip and 200-500 MM lens. Rock solid once set. If you are looking for a good high quality monopod definitely consider the Ifootage 71" carbon fibre.

This monopod is great support with light weight mobility. I support a sigma 150-600 lens. Easy to carry. Just mounted the quick release plate to the lens then popped it into the head, loosened the ball at the bottom then you can move it all about. You can detach the post and have a tripod for low level shots of wildlife at ground level. Only drawback I can find is that it is difficult for flight tracking. Other than that this is a great monopod.

Oh, That Guy
5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply remarkable - quite happy
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2020Verified Purchase
Simply remarkable. Quite surprised and impressed. I’m sort of old school, and getting used to monopods and such. This thing is outstanding. The three feet are helpful in terms of it being self standing - although you’ll need to have one hand on it when panning. The quick release at the top is exceptionally functional. I use this for camcording at sports - but can see how a large zoom lens camera would want a quick disconnect. My first carbon fiber item - wow this stuff is impressive. The fluid head works well - I don’t see a drag adjustment for panning. But the speed and steadiness is fine. It does not have any kickback like the lower cost pan heads I’ve purchased. Hint- I bight a 3/4” stubby wrench to carry with my gear and make getting the head on tightly - this was my only disappointment: when panning, the head would loosen from the monopod... so I use that to crank it down. Other feedback to manufacturer: the “thumb screw” for mounting the camera to the shoe - it would be nice to have a roughed edge for easier turning - as is it is smooth. The included bag was a surprise - very very nice / padded and expandable if you keep a head attached to the ‘pod. Look for a strap to un Velcro and the stretch the bag out. Still don’t know what the interior Velcro closing flap is for. Last design wish - the ball head for the three feet stand is great - but it would be wonderful if there was a mechanical design that would allow for a “top dead center” locked position so you knew you were level on the ground. All in: I’m buying the TC5 tripod next. The ifootage stuff is just remarkable!

El mejor monopie que tengo!
Reviewed in Mexico on September 19, 2019Verified Purchase
Actualmente cuento con dos monopies (tres con este) uno de rango alto y marca reconocida y uno muy barato de una marca poco conocida. Ambos hacen su chamba, aunque el de marca barata ya comenzó a dar problemas a pesar de tener menos de un año de haber sido adquirido (lo barato sale caro)
El de marca italiana y muy reconocido es de excelente calidad, pero la base, en donde están las patitas desplegables, requiere de estar poniendo aceite frecuentemente pues su movimiento no es completamente fluido y en movimientos que quiero hacer con la cámara se nota mucho y me frustra pues tengo que repetir la toma a veces varias veces.
El Ifootage es completamente fluido en todos sus aspectos. Me encanta el sistema que tiene de separación de la base y la cabeza, es demasiado fácil y seguro. Además es como tener un mini tripé contigo, lo cual puede ser súper útil en un sinnúmero de situaciones.
No es tan delgado como el de marca italiana pero se siente muy bien al agarrarlo, da una sensación de ser sólido, fuerte, y su material de fibra de carbono lo hace muy ligero. Además su diseño está muy cool ¿A quién no le gusta verse cool mientras trabaja?
Yo mido 1:86 y lo increíble es que el monopie es más alto que yo! Lo cual le da mayor versatilidad sobre todo en esas situaciones en que hay mucha gente y hay que grabar por encima de ellos.
Definitivamente una gran compra. Tan es así que en cuanto tenga el dinero para hacerlo, voy a sustituir el barato que tengo por otro ifootage.

Camera gear that will last and you can trust
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018Size: Cobra2 A150SVerified Purchase
When it comes to camera gear, I have found that trying to get by with inexpensive equipment will only get you so far. If you want to have quality photos and videos you need quality gear. That’s not to say you can’t make amazing things with an iPhone and a budget setup. You can. But, when you are making a living at it, investing the gear you know, will hold up and last when taking a beating, finding companies like Manfrotto, Benro, and iFootage is a must. A few years ago I started using iFootage gear alongside my Manfrotto gear and I fell in love. They make some strong, versatile camera support gear. One of the products I have been getting some great use out of is the Cobra Strike 2 Aluminum Monopod.
The Cobra 2 Strike is a lightweight monopod that features iFootage’s quick release system and single hand operated auto extension. The device is ideal to use when you have to pick up and move constantly during your shoot. The Cobra 2 Strike has a four-part modular design — quick release mount, main body, quick release low angle camera pod, and removable rubber foot. The modular parts make it possible for the Cobra 2 Strike to function as 3 different support pieces — a video monopod with adjustable feet, portable monopod, and a low-angle camera pod. The mounting plate provides users the option to use either a 1/4″ or 3/8″ mounting screw, which is actually spring-loaded. It is 100% compatible with the iFootage Komodo tripod head.
The quick release grip makes it very easy to detach the camera from the post with very little effort. When you release the lock grip to extend the staff, you will notice that there is a built-in ruler on the inside of the rod to ensure that you put it at the exact length you want for your shot. The adjustable base features locking mechanisms for the three feet so that you can set it to one of three different angles — 20º, 50º, or 78º. The base also includes an adjustable ball joint that locks or unlocks with a simple twisting knob. The ball joint makes it possible for you to tilt the monopod 0-90º and swivel 360 degrees. The Cobra 2 Strike monopod is a 2017 Red Dot Design Award Winner (product design award).
iFootage’s packaging is black with an image of the product you are getting printed on the front of it. When you open the box up, you will be greeted by a plastic bag that is covering a very nice carrying bag that iFootage provides with nearly all of their products. It’s a heavy duty carrying case that you can sling over your shoulder. Inside is where your the Cobra 2 Strike lives.
The Cobra 2 Strike monopod is actually available in two different materials — aluminum and carbon fiber. I got the aluminum version because even though carbon fiber has a reputation for being more lightweight, aluminum tends to slide better. When the monopod arrived, I immediately unboxed it and got to know my new piece of camera gear. I marveled at the design of the device and how all the parts work together. I love that I can attach my camera to the mounting plate and use with either the full monopod or the base feet. It’s great to have such a versatile piece equipment in my hands.
With my Cobra 2 Strike in hand, I took off for one of my favorite places to shoot — a local wildlife preserve. This area is well visited by locals, but it also has a lot of wild terrains because it’s a protected area. Given the location, I felt like it was a great opportunity to test all aspects of the Cobra 2 Strike. I drove out to a parking area and loaded up my gear which included the monopod, my Canon 5D Mark IV with a 24-105mm lens and 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens. I hiked out to a spot not too far from the parking area and set up the monopod to get some shots of the wildlife and scenic landscapes. I found a place that was near the lake and set my camera on the monopod. I was incredibly happy with how quickly I was ready to shoot. Most of the time, I will take along a tripod to help stabilize my shots — especially with the telephoto lens. The problem is, sometimes it takes some time to extend the legs, level them out, and get my camera mounted.
With the Cobra 2 Strike, I pre-installed the camera plate on my camera body and walked with it attached to the monopod to the lakeside spot. Within a few seconds, I had the monopod extended and was focusing in on some birds across the lake. The monopod is so lightweight that it was very easy to carry — even with the camera mounted to it — across the rocky path. After I grabbed a few shots with the 24-105mm lens, I wanted to get a few options with the 70-200mm. The Cobra 2 Strike is such an amazing monopod, that I didn’t have any problems with getting a stable shot. I was actually able to leave the camera sitting on the monopod with the feet extended and it didn’t fall over. I don’t make that a common practice, but in order to demonstrate how stable the monopod is, I wanted to give it a try. Thanks to the adjustable ball head in the base of the monopod, I was able to get some amazing shots that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get without the added stabilization from the monopod.
The one thing I hate about the Cobra Strike 2 from iFootage is the name. I don’t like snakes at all so naming such an awesome monopod after something I am horribly grossed out by is a bit disappointing. You will find that to be the only thing that’s disappointing about this monopod. I can’t express how much I enjoy using iFootage gear, as they do make some of the best camera equipment in the business. It’s affordable and extremely well-built. I can’t say enough good things about the Cobra 2 Strike Aluminum Monopod.

The Cobra 2 Strike is a lightweight monopod that features iFootage’s quick release system and single hand operated auto extension. The device is ideal to use when you have to pick up and move constantly during your shoot. The Cobra 2 Strike has a four-part modular design — quick release mount, main body, quick release low angle camera pod, and removable rubber foot. The modular parts make it possible for the Cobra 2 Strike to function as 3 different support pieces — a video monopod with adjustable feet, portable monopod, and a low-angle camera pod. The mounting plate provides users the option to use either a 1/4″ or 3/8″ mounting screw, which is actually spring-loaded. It is 100% compatible with the iFootage Komodo tripod head.
The quick release grip makes it very easy to detach the camera from the post with very little effort. When you release the lock grip to extend the staff, you will notice that there is a built-in ruler on the inside of the rod to ensure that you put it at the exact length you want for your shot. The adjustable base features locking mechanisms for the three feet so that you can set it to one of three different angles — 20º, 50º, or 78º. The base also includes an adjustable ball joint that locks or unlocks with a simple twisting knob. The ball joint makes it possible for you to tilt the monopod 0-90º and swivel 360 degrees. The Cobra 2 Strike monopod is a 2017 Red Dot Design Award Winner (product design award).
iFootage’s packaging is black with an image of the product you are getting printed on the front of it. When you open the box up, you will be greeted by a plastic bag that is covering a very nice carrying bag that iFootage provides with nearly all of their products. It’s a heavy duty carrying case that you can sling over your shoulder. Inside is where your the Cobra 2 Strike lives.
The Cobra 2 Strike monopod is actually available in two different materials — aluminum and carbon fiber. I got the aluminum version because even though carbon fiber has a reputation for being more lightweight, aluminum tends to slide better. When the monopod arrived, I immediately unboxed it and got to know my new piece of camera gear. I marveled at the design of the device and how all the parts work together. I love that I can attach my camera to the mounting plate and use with either the full monopod or the base feet. It’s great to have such a versatile piece equipment in my hands.
With my Cobra 2 Strike in hand, I took off for one of my favorite places to shoot — a local wildlife preserve. This area is well visited by locals, but it also has a lot of wild terrains because it’s a protected area. Given the location, I felt like it was a great opportunity to test all aspects of the Cobra 2 Strike. I drove out to a parking area and loaded up my gear which included the monopod, my Canon 5D Mark IV with a 24-105mm lens and 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens. I hiked out to a spot not too far from the parking area and set up the monopod to get some shots of the wildlife and scenic landscapes. I found a place that was near the lake and set my camera on the monopod. I was incredibly happy with how quickly I was ready to shoot. Most of the time, I will take along a tripod to help stabilize my shots — especially with the telephoto lens. The problem is, sometimes it takes some time to extend the legs, level them out, and get my camera mounted.
With the Cobra 2 Strike, I pre-installed the camera plate on my camera body and walked with it attached to the monopod to the lakeside spot. Within a few seconds, I had the monopod extended and was focusing in on some birds across the lake. The monopod is so lightweight that it was very easy to carry — even with the camera mounted to it — across the rocky path. After I grabbed a few shots with the 24-105mm lens, I wanted to get a few options with the 70-200mm. The Cobra 2 Strike is such an amazing monopod, that I didn’t have any problems with getting a stable shot. I was actually able to leave the camera sitting on the monopod with the feet extended and it didn’t fall over. I don’t make that a common practice, but in order to demonstrate how stable the monopod is, I wanted to give it a try. Thanks to the adjustable ball head in the base of the monopod, I was able to get some amazing shots that I otherwise wouldn’t have been able to get without the added stabilization from the monopod.
The one thing I hate about the Cobra Strike 2 from iFootage is the name. I don’t like snakes at all so naming such an awesome monopod after something I am horribly grossed out by is a bit disappointing. You will find that to be the only thing that’s disappointing about this monopod. I can’t express how much I enjoy using iFootage gear, as they do make some of the best camera equipment in the business. It’s affordable and extremely well-built. I can’t say enough good things about the Cobra 2 Strike Aluminum Monopod.
