Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod (Dual Optional Head) for Sony Handycam HDR-HC9

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for high stiffness, excellent vibration damping, and strong load support. CNC-machined aluminum alloy fittings with an anodized finish resist wear and corrosion, yet the complete unit still weighs only 1.1 lb (480g), making it easy to carry for run-and-gun or travel shoots. Designed for mobility and reach, the monopod collapses to 18.5 inches for compact transport and extends to 66.9 inches for overhead or long-telephoto applications. Its 5-section twist-lock leg system provides quick setup and secure locking on uneven terrain or in crowded locations. Despite the light weight, the monopod safely carries up to 26 lb (12 kg). The 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter delivers strong torsional resistance for stable shooting. User comfort and control are provided by a foam grip and safety wrist strap, while an interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike offer reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad camera and accessory compatibility. Install the supplied ball head to gain 360° panning, precise tilt control, and a quick-action U-notch for fast vertical orientation—handy for switching between stills and video. The included ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for 17.6 lb, and features fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops. Dual bubble levels let you level shots at a glance, and indexed base markings help with repeatable panoramas. When the monopod and ball head are used together, the combined load capacity is 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
