Are people aware that they have absolutely zero customer service. I tried to return a purchase and they were nowhere to be found. In fact unless they change it now if you go on their website you will see that the refund and return page doesn't even work.

Looks pretty neat. I'm in the market for a monopod, so this is going on the list to look at.

So I did order the YConion monopod from their site; then discovered they double charged me on import tax. YConion charges you import tax upon ordering, but I realized that the transporter also charged me the same import tax on delivery. Then YConion refused to offer me a straight refund and instead offered me a credit towards the next purchase. This is unlawful way of doing business. About the monopod, the base has come loose, the feet keeps folding when moving the monopod to another place. So the top section is a good idea, and works fine, but the bottom section with the pedal needs redesign.

ok the price surprised me a bit, if you compare it to the new ifootage Cobra strike. Did anyone do a comparison between the predecessors?

Good luck if you ever need to service it or getting spare parts.

Still not sure why there are no cheaper versions of this even if they are janky, plus 3 leg tripods should do this. There should be a zillion of these and there are barely any. The mechanism cannot be that hard to design at this point. Something like a planetary gear in the top of a tripod head that turns a shaft inside each leg or something. Even if it sucked and was unreliable, there should be some on the market at an affordable price so we can see the mechanism get refined then we dont have to be sitting there twisting tripod legs all day.
