Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod — Dual Head Option — for Olympus Evolt E-510

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for exceptional stiffness, strength, and vibration damping. The tube assembly is matched with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware and an anodized finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance, yet the entire unit weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) — ideal for run-and-gun shooting or travel. Designed for mobility, it collapses to 18.5 inches and extends to 66.9 inches, giving you tall reach for overhead angles, steady tracking, or long-telephoto setups. A 5-section twist-lock leg system provides quick, secure deployment and breakdown. Although lightweight, the monopod supports a 26 lb (12 kg) payload; its 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter helps resist torsion for greater stability. User-friendly touches include a comfortable foam grip, a safety wrist strap, and an interchangeable rubber foot plus steel spike for reliable footing on varied surfaces. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads so it works with a broad range of camera gear — use the monopod alone for a minimalist rig or attach the supplied ball head for full articulation. The included ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for a 17.6 lb load, and features fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops. It offers 360° panning, tilt adjustment, a U-notch for quick vertical framing, dual bubble levels for fast leveling, and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas. When the monopod and ball head are used together the combined load capacity is 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
