Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod — Dual-Head Option for Sony HDR-CX430V

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for outstanding stiffness, strength, and vibration resistance. Precision CNC-machined aluminum alloy fittings and an anodized finish add corrosion resistance and long-term durability while keeping the unit lightweight at just 1.1 lb (480g) — ideal for run-and-gun shooting and travel. Compact when stored but tall when needed: the five-section twist-lock leg system collapses to 18.5 inches and extends to 66.9 inches, delivering quick setup and secure locking for overhead, tracking, or long-telephoto applications. A maximum tube diameter of 1.28-inch provides excellent torsional stability for heavier camera setups. Despite its light weight, the monopod carries up to 26 lb (12 kg), making it suitable for DSLR or mirrorless bodies with large telephoto lenses. Comfort and control are addressed with a foam grip and a safety wrist strap, while an interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike let you adapt to pavement, dirt, or uneven ground. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility with heads and cameras. Attach the included ball head to get 360° panning, tilt control and a U-notch for quick vertical orientation — useful for photographers who switch between stills and video. The supplied ball head features a precision CNC-machined aluminum body, fine-tune damping to avoid sudden drops, a 17.6 lb load rating, 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).
