In this hands-on review, we test the Cobra 3 from a nature and wildlife photographer’s perspective to see how it performs with long lenses, low angles, video, and real-world field use.

In this episode of The Nature Photo Guys Podcast, Joe & Chris go hands-on with the iFootage Cobra 3 Strike Monopod and share their first impressions from a nature & wildlife shooters.

We take a deep dive into what makes this monopod unique, from its fast-deploy trigger grip and detachable base to how it performs in real-world scenarios like:
