I see SRS have Slik 350 AF on Ebay very reasonably priced.Has anyone used one or have any opinions on them to help sway me away from Jessops 330 for ten little pounds.

Many thanks mm

Giottos P-Pod model MM55 it's so versatile' doubles as a tripod and is excellent for macro work

I've just bought the Redsnapper offering and it's excellent, especially considering it costs £26.95...gets my "highly recommended" anyway

I also own one of their tripods & rate it highly too...they may not have the name but the quality certainly seems up there with many of the higher profile brands

Another vote for Redsnapper from me. I've got their tripod + tilt/pan head and as Simon says, quality is superb as well as function. So I'd be surprised if the monopod isn't the same. And bl**dy good value too!

Ditto and it has a nice fluid head too.

Looking at the Red snapper website they do seem incredibly cheap. Does anyone know if their products are any good?

I was looking at a pistol grip head which is about half the price of a Manfrotto.
