Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod — Dual-Head Option for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ40

Rugged, lightweight construction: Built from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for outstanding stiffness, strength, and vibration damping, this monopod pairs an ultra-rigid shaft with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware finished in anodized coating for long-term corrosion resistance. The monopod weighs just 1.1 lb (480g), making it easy to carry for run-and-gun work or travel. Compact portability and tall reach: The five-section twist-lock design collapses to 18.5 inches for transport and extends to 66.9 inches when deployed, giving you the height needed for overhead angles, steady tracking, or long-telephoto shooting. Locks are quick to operate for fast setup and breakdown. High load capability and stable performance: Despite its light weight, the monopod safely supports up to 26 lb (12 kg), suitable for DSLR and mirrorless bodies with heavy telephoto lenses. The maximum tube diameter of 1.28-inch provides excellent torsional stability. Comfort and control are enhanced by a foam grip and safety wrist strap, while traction is handled by an interchangeable rubber foot and a steel spike for different surfaces. Versatile mounting and included ball head: The top platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility. Add the included ball head to gain 360° panning, tilt adjustment and a U-notch for quick vertical framing. The ball head is precision CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for 17.6 lb, and features fine-tune damping to avoid sudden drops, dual bubble levels for fast leveling, and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramic work. Combined capacity: When used together, the monopod and ball head provide a total load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
