Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod (Optional Dual Head) for Panasonic HDC-TM700K

Purpose-built for demanding photographers and videographers, this 70" monopod is constructed from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing to deliver high stiffness, vibration resistance and exceptional strength. Its ultra-rigid build is paired with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware and an anodized finish for long-lasting durability and corrosion protection, yet the unit weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) — convenient for run-and-gun shooting and travel. Size and setup: the monopod folds to 18.5 inches for compact transport and extends to 66.9 inches for overhead shots, long-telephoto use or stable tracking. A 5-section twist-lock leg system enables fast, secure deployment and retraction. Load and stability: despite its light weight, the column supports a 26 lb (12 kg) load. A 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter gives excellent torsional stability, while a comfortable foam grip and safety wrist strap improve handling. The included interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike ensure reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. Mounting and compatibility: the top platform offers both 1/4" and 3/8" threads to fit a wide range of cameras and accessories. You can use the monopod alone for a minimal setup or attach the supplied ball head for added control. Ball head details: the included ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum and rated for 17.6 lb. It provides smooth 360° panning, tilt adjustment, a U-notch for quick vertical orientation, fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, dual bubble levels for fast leveling, and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramic shots. Combined capacity: when the monopod is used together with the ball head the total load capacity is 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
