The TR34M monopod offers the same advanced engineering and exacting craftsmanship as the PMG tripod line. That means features like 10x carbon fiber weave, machined aluminum leg locks, and built in, reversible steel foot spike. Best of all, this monopod is extremely strong and rigid, without sacrifice in terms of weight. Upgrading from the feather-light Sirui P-326, it’s amazing how comparable the MUCH stronger TR34M feels (it weighs only .2lbs more). For me, the TR34M model offers the best combination of specs within PMG’s monopod line. Ample height (for me at 6’1), lowest weight, and I prefer the standard mount and 34mm upper leg diameter to the integrated clamp and giant 42mm upper legs of the 42 line. Kudos to PMG, this is an ideal monopod for wildlife photography and IMO is overall the best monopod you can buy.

Top notch quality, the best monopod you can buy.

Excellent build quality, very strong- nice attention to details - how the top plate can screw in and unscrew the reversible attachment thread. Also the aluminum tensioners/grips, unlike rubber, will last for decades. The additional lens coat hand grip feels very nice and the inside is a very grippy soft surface that does not slip on the carbon fiber.
