Cameras use a 1/4-20 tripod thread; larger heads and sliders often use 3/8-16. A reversible screw or an adapter lets one support take both.
Using a monopod well
A monopod takes the weight of the camera and steadies the up-and-down axis, which lets you use a slower shutter speed than handheld. Plant the foot slightly in front of you and lean the pole back toward your body to form a stable triangle with your feet. It still needs a hand on the camera at all times.
Four sections and twist locks
Four sections give a reach of 66.5 in. Twist to unlock, extend, and twist back. The steel spike screws in for grass and sand.

What people ask before they commit
Why silicone?
NEEWER says it lasts longer than foam grips, which can degrade.
Load?
10 kg (22 lb). A declared load is a static figure: what the support holds without slipping. It says nothing about vibration, wind or what the head can hold once tilted.
Will it take a GoPro?
With a GoPro mount adapter on the 1/4 in screw.
