Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod — Dual-Head Option for Pentax SMCP-DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro

Portable yet robust: This monopod is built from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for outstanding stiffness, strength, and vibration damping, while CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware with an anodized finish adds durability and corrosion resistance. The unit weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) and collapses to 18.5 inches for travel, yet extends to 66.9 inches to reach high angles or support long-telephoto work. Fast setup and secure positioning come from the 5-section twist-lock leg design and a 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter that improves torsional stability. Comfort and control are provided by a foam grip and safety wrist strap, and the monopod adapts to varied ground conditions with an interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike. Despite its light weight, it supports a 26 lb (12 kg) payload suitable for DSLR and mirrorless systems with large lenses. Mounting is flexible thanks to both 1/4" and 3/8" threads on the platform, letting you use the monopod by itself or attach the included dual-function ball head. The ball head features a precision CNC-machined aluminum body, 17.6 lb load capacity, fine damping to prevent sudden drops, 360° panning and tilt with a U-notch for quick vertical orientation, dual bubble levels for fast leveling, and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas. When used together, the monopod plus ball head system provides a combined load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
