Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod with Optional Dual Head for Sony Handycam DCR-DVD408

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing to deliver exceptional stiffness, strength, and vibration damping. CNC-machined aluminum alloy fittings with an anodized finish give long-lasting durability and corrosion resistance while keeping the overall weight to just 1.1 lb (480g) — ideal for run-and-gun shooting or travel. Compact portability meets tall reach: the five-section twist-lock legs collapse to 18.5 inches for easy transport and expand to 66.9 inches when you need elevated vantage points, overhead framing, or steady long-telephoto support. The largest tube measures 1.28-inch in diameter to maximize torsional stability. Despite its light weight, the monopod supports a 26 lb (12 kg) payload, making it suitable for DSLRs and mirrorless setups with heavy lenses. Comfort and control features include a foam grip and safety wrist strap, while an interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike let you adapt to different surfaces. Versatile mounting choices are built in: the platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads so it works with a wide range of heads and camera plates. An included premium ball head adds 360° panning, tilt adjustment, and a U-notch for quick vertical orientation—handy for switching between stills and video. The ball head is precision CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for 17.6 lb, and offers fine-tune damping to prevent abrupt drops. Dual bubble levels and indexed base markings aid rapid leveling and repeatable panoramic shots. When used together, the monopod and ball head provide a combined load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
