Professional Heavy-Duty 70" Carbon Fiber Monopod/Unipod with Dual-Option Head for Sony Alpha DSLR-A200

Built from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing, this monopod offers exceptional stiffness, strength, and vibration damping required by demanding photographers and videographers. The shaft pairs with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware and an anodized finish for increased durability and corrosion resistance, yet the complete unit weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) — ideal for run-and-gun shoots or travel to remote locations. Compact when stored and tall when deployed, the monopod collapses to 18.5 inches and extends to 66.9 inches. Its 5-section twist-lock leg system lets you set up and break down quickly while maintaining a secure hold. The 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter contributes to torsional rigidity, and comfort features include a foam grip and a safety wrist strap. For footing, the monopod ships with an interchangeable rubber foot and a steel spike to handle different surfaces. Carrying a 26 lb (12 kg) payload despite its light weight, the monopod supports DSLR and mirrorless bodies with large telephoto lenses. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads to accommodate a wide variety of heads and accessories. The included ball head provides 360° panning, tilt adjustment and a U-notch for quick vertical framing. The supplied ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum, offers smooth fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, and has a rated load capacity of 17.6 lb. Dual bubble levels help with fast leveling and indexed base markings aid in repeatable panoramic work. When the monopod and ball head are used together, the system’s load capacity increases to 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
