Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod for Pentax K-5 II — 10-Layer, Dual-Thread Mount, Optional Ball Head

Rugged 10-Layer Carbon Fiber Build: Constructed from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing, this monopod offers high stiffness, excellent vibration resistance, and the strength demanded by professional photographers and videographers. CNC-machined aluminum alloy components with an anodized finish increase durability and corrosion resistance while keeping the overall weight to just 1.1 lb (480g) — ideal for mobile, run-and-gun work or travel. Compact Portability with Tall Reach: The monopod folds down to 18.5 inches for easy transport and expands to a maximum height of 66.9 inches, providing overhead reach and stable support for long-telephoto shooting. Its 5-section twist-lock system lets you set up or pack away quickly and reliably. Strong Load Capacity and Stable Design: Despite its light weight, the monopod supports up to 26 lb (12 kg). A maximum tube diameter of 1.28 inches enhances torsional stability. Comfort and secure handling are provided by a foam grip and a safety wrist strap, while the interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike let you adapt traction to different surfaces. Versatile Mounting and Head Options: The top platform includes both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility with camera gear. You can use the monopod alone for a minimalist setup or attach the included ball head to gain full 360° panning, tilt control, and a U-notch for quick vertical orientation — useful for switching between stills and video. Professional Ball Head Features: The supplied ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for 17.6 lb, and includes fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops. Dual bubble levels allow fast leveling and indexed base markings aid repeatable panoramic shots. Together Performance: Using the monopod with the ball head yields a combined load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
