I bought Louis the 3021. He had a monopod before (still has it). He really likes it and the head on it is really neat and easy to operate. Another neat function is that the legs have buttons on them that allow them to be swung out at more of an angle. Easy to get down low to get pics (

). I stressed when I bought my kayak paddle. Wanted the Carbon fiber one and that was nearly $300, then I thought never gonna have to do it again, so I went for it. Love the paddle BTW
