Hakuba's award-winning MONO-POD-10 photographic/video tripod is the first tripod to incorporate the functions of both a monopod and tripod, and an essential tabletop photography and camera tool. Easy and unobtrusive to carry, it fits in most camera bags. When folded, it collapses to 9.8 inches. It extends to nearly 5 feet and can hold up to 21 pounds. It is perfect for use with digital cameras and camcorders when transferring images to the computer.

The best available stealth monopod.......2005-10-26
As I carry around a compact digital camera (Canon SD-100) all the time and am an available light freak, I am in need of serious camera stabilization. I find all of the monopods by Bogen, Sunpak, Manfroto, etc to be way too long contracted and do not desire to look like a mountaineer in the middle of a museum. The Hakuba MS10 folds down to 9.8 in., about half the length of most monopods, and weighs only 1.25 lb. So, if you don't need a walking stick or a serious tabletop tripod, but do need an ultra-compact monopod, this is the best there is. I bartered mine away to a friend in Paris and have been missing it ever since.
You Pay a Nickle..... You Get a Nickles Worth........2003-02-25
As soon as I received the tripod, I unpacked it and started to unfold it for tripod use. Did what I was told to do (ie instructions on tripod)and promptly broke one of the legs.
This is not a Bogen or a Gitzo or even a Slik, nor did it cost as much!
In all fairness for a kid starting to take the step from snapshots to photography, this mono/tri pod might be just the ticket!
Adult Photographers, pay the money for quality!
Convenient monopod, BUT...........2001-03-22
I really liked the usefulness of the Hakuba monopod 10 and its slender, compact size. Great for travel. The main telescoping sections are all metal. But, here's the big BUT -- the two non-telescoping flip-out short legs are plastic. Both of mine now have small cracks where the legs are attached to the main monopod shaft. This occured under the weight of a Nikon FM and a plastic-barrel telephoto lens, not a very heavy load.
So, if you want a slender monopod, it's fine. But as a tabletop tripod, I'm afraid this isn't the best choice -- not until Hakuba makes those two short legs of the same metal as the main monopod.

GREAT PRODUCT FOR THOSE USING MD.......2007-12-22
The M-AUDIO Transit USB device is probably one of the best things to ever happen to those still using Minidisc recorders, including myself, while trying to avoid the temptation to purchase the iPod or Zune. With this device, I have been able to access and record from I-Tunes, Windows Media Player, and Real Player. Though I have to record in "real time" as opposed to quickly burning or "dragging and dropping", it is still nice to be able to access more than one particular source for my Minidisc recorder with the Transit USB.
I can understand any comments made regarding the occasional "popping sounds" during recording and playback. For me, this did sometimes occur when I was using Windows XP. Since then, I have downloaded the Beta Driver for Windows Vista into my new computer equipped with the Windows Vista software, and none of the mentioned problem has occurred again.
I will admit that loading up the software and having the M-Audio device configured into my computers is not so easy as 1-2-3. How I wish it was; in fact, I ended up learning a lot more about a computer's control panel, especially with the audio device and video game controller sections.
All in all, this is a great item once you have the initial setup squared away; and again, this one of the best products for those who have Minidisc recorders in specific or recorders of the non-iPod variety in general.
High Quality Soundcard.......2007-12-21
Have used the Transit in place of the built-in laptop soundcard to provide high quality audio for amateur radio digital modes. Easy plug-'n-play installation. Using two with desktop computer to interface to multiple radios. Windows XP works comfortably with multiple Transits. Completely trouble-free use and performance - a joy after stumbling along with low quality laptop soundcard!
Great sound for CD, MP3 playback........2007-12-17
I have used the Transit for the past two years with 3 different notebooks (Dell, Gateway, Mac Book Pro) and numerous desktops. Granted, the driver can be a pain to install, and does not work at all in Vista (see below), but once it's working, it has proven stable for my use. I use it solely for audio playback through home stereo systems and also with an ElectroVoice PA system. I have not tried it for recording (I have other M-Audio gear for that). The sound that comes out of this little device is amazing - very dynamic and clear - and similar to other M-Audio cards. I used it at an outdoor party last summer with my EV PA system and received several favorable comments like, that sounds like it's a "live" performance. I like the Transit so much that I am ordering another one. The one caveat I have is that I have not been able to get it to work with Windows Vista (blue screen of death and no audio output on an HP notebook). This driver is still in beta and has been for the past 6 months (come on M-Audio). So, save yourself the headache if you are running Vista. But if you have XP or a Mac, and you want a big upgrade in quality from your internal sound card, I highly reccomend this for playback of MP3s and CDs. Note: it does not drive headphones directly without an external amp.
Great for Listening. But thats all.......2007-11-24
Good for mixing on the road but dont try recording through it. Quality is low and mine clicks and pops non-stop when using the input. But eventually the good output falls through as well. It's life expectancy is well under a year (and thats if u take real good care of it).
Unstable.......2007-09-06
Typical of USB interfaces, the transit is quite simply unstable. At best, it loads your audio with dropouts, at worst it quits working altogether until it is reset. I tried this interface on two separate systems, both of which run an M-Audio firewire 410 and M-audio firewire solo perfectly. Don't waste your time with the transit or any other USB interface, go firewire.
