Hi, yes the height is totally flexible from the minimum height of 75cm (29.5in) to the maximum of 1.45m (57.1in). I am currently shooting some interviews at the Edinburgh Festival and using it every day. I like the ease of lifting up and down as well as having the legs on the bottom to leave the monopod standing with my 100-500mm while I am shooting wider angles on my 24-70mm. If I was buying again, I would go for the SVM-165 and have the extra 20cm of height, but can still recommend.
Nice and informative video indeed. The only small, slightly negative technical aspect was that your voice was only on the left audio channel and not both right and left. But, it was still a highly informative and well done review. And...I can understand the not shaking an accent problem. I am originally from Mississippi in the U.S. and have lived in Germany for 14 years now and people hear my southern twang and immediately think I am from Texas. 😂
Thanks very helpful, I was looking at the new Ifootage Cobra Strike 3 on Kickstarter. But this is only available in September and this monopod looks the same. You sound like your from my neck of the woods, the north west l, I'm from Southport. 👍🏻
Thanks, Mark. Yes, the other advantage of buying off-Kickstarter is that you know you will definitely receive the item. While rare, I have had one or two that have never come up with goods. I've lived in Scotland since 1995, but I still can't shake off my accent from the east of Manchester 😆

I love mine but I find the base plate that attaches to my camera will not disengage when the collar is pulled down from the monopod. It sticks.
Can it be set at any height ? or preset? After 3 months of use, is it will you buy it again? Thanks for sharing.
