Not that the original was bad, I still have one and use it regularly, but this one is several steps above. Starting with the well designed soft transport bag instead of a foam box. The linier guide rails need no adjustment and are very precise. The OS is improved with the ability to have multiple points in the slide movement. Then you couple it to the DJI Ronin there is no stopping it. I am using a DJI Ronin RS3 Pro and have had no problems with it only powering it with an NP battery. Other reviews I read before I purchased said you must use the external USB PD to have the Ronin power up this is Not the case at least for me. There was a firmware update with I first turned it on so that issue may have been removed.

This monopod is AMAZING! It's sooo nice to be able to operate it with one hand with the push of a button. Super solid and not too heavy. The base lockdown is nice for the center, but if you have to tilt it at an angle, it isn't as tight as some monopod bases. It doesn't quite hold itself up and tightened it down pretty aggressively. Most of the time I want it straight anyways, not big deal. Highly recommended!

They really upgraded this from the gen 1.
The interoperability with DJI Ronin is a game changer.

Works as advertised and it's aesthetically pleasing

Superior in everyday to the Nano 1, which is really liked. Perfect for my FX6 with serious glass. And the Ronin 4 Pro integration is seamless. A great upgrade!!

I've been getting by with my decades old tripod that I've owned since I was a teen. However, I decided that my return to film photography needed an update. So far, I'm pleased with my purchase. The monopod has given me the needed stability required for my Mamiya C330 TLRs while being unobtrusive. The material and build quality appear to be top notch and I'm looking forward to many hours of use and configuration experimentation.

This was an addition to me TC-3B which is my travel and hiking tripod. The 6S is for times when I'll be using longer lenses for wildlife when I can park relatively close to my shooting location and need a bit more stability.

High quality product. Good design.

I shoot product videos and have struggled with finding a truly smooth slider. This is the one. Works perfectly with my RS2. I was reluctant to believe it would be smooth with the laowa probe lens but it is! Buttery smooth, easy to create keyframes, and very one battery has a crazy long run time. Only request is to add customizable smooth keyframing. But for the price… this is the best slider hands down

Fantastic product. Highly recommended. Extremely well designed, engineered, and manufactured.

This is a great monopod!

Great little eco-system here. Less than a week in so can't comment much but so far so good. System feel solid and provides ease of mind. So far

Great build quality! Delivered same as advertised!
