Opens up a whole new world of wonderful lenses
This adapter is great value for money. It is reassuringly solid and sturdy and does exactly as it should - allows you to mount your M42 lenses on your Fuji X bodies. For just a few quid you have access to a huge wealth of wonderful old lenses which can be bought at very reasonable prices because people don't want to focus manually any more - or maybe you have some M42 lenses stashed in the loft somewhere which you haven't used in years.In my case I have a Helios 44M (cheap as chips from eBay recently) and a couple of Super Takumar lenses handed down to me by my aunt and I believe about the same age as I am.I have been using this on an X-Pro1 and loving the results. Pop the adapter on, pop the lens on, switch to manual focussing and make sure you have focus peaking enabled on your camera. I found it much easier to use these vintage (and superb) lenses on my X-Pro1 with this adapter than I did with my EOS 6D - manual focussing is made a doddle. No reason to pay more than this, I'm tempted to get one for each M42 lens I own.I've attached a photo of a carved stone head from a church window taken using this adapter when I had the Helios 44M attached to it. This was shot with the Helios wide open at f2, manually focussed (of course) using the focus peaking feature of the X-Pro1. Focus nailed on the eye.

Awesome portable tripod!
I've been using this for about a month now to set up my camera on my desk while recording and as a handheld monopod while walking. The grip is comfortable; although, it can take some getting used to when the tripod is flexed at a curve.Otherwise, 5/5!

Broken Monopod After 1 Use - Given Partial Refund
The company has reached out to us and offered us a partial refund.------The monopod broke after one use, strap fell off but luckily we caught our camera and then the second time we attached our camera on the black plastic piece broke.

Hefty medal tripod
This tripod has some weight to it, feels very nice. I like that I can make it into a monopod just using the leg. Ball head feels pretty good for the price, keep in mind this isn’t a $500 tripod. Would buy again if it breaks.

I recently purchased a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and was in the market for a tripod or monopod when I came across the Geekoto X25.One of my favorite things about this tripod is the customization:- Cost-effectiveSeriously, the price of this tripod for all the features it has is insane!- Durable aluminum alloy frameFeels incredibly sturdy, I'm not in fear of it falling over with my expensive camera and equipment.- Extremely compact, only 24" when folded up and fits perfectly in the included carrying case.This is pretty important for those who like to travel.- Detachable leg transforms into monopod, selfie stick, and walking stick.It's super easy to adjust on the fly with the tool-free design.- adjustable height, up to 75"How much higher would you want to get?- Works vertically and horizontallyI love using this tripod for smooth tilt and pan shots!Overall, I really recommend that you give this tripod/monopod a try!

Well made and a good price
I've used this monopod a few time now and it seems to be built really well. The swivel top is nice because I like to take pictures at different angles such as flowers where you really need to hold it still. All in all, very happy.

great
Neat tripod, great price, no complaints! My last tripod was a really really cheap one, thought I'd go a little nicer this time, but still affordable. Monopod is super useful with this, no wobbly feeling when attached with my Nikon & video light.

Great Value. Love this tripod.
For the price, this tripod is AMAZING. I love how versatile it is. And it’s fairly compact. I’ll be able to travel with it easily. It’s very durable and the fact that it can be used as a tripod or monopod is a huge plus for me! No more packing both when I travel.

Buono
Il rapporto qualitá prezzo é sicuramente buono, ci sono tantissimo accessori.. Peccato per qualitá del monopod che è davvero scadente.. La gopro basta una piccola oscillazione e si sposta dalla sua posizione..
