Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod — Dual-Head Option for Fujifilm FinePix S8600

High-strength 10-layer carbon fiber tubing provides a stiff, low-vibration support platform for demanding photo and video work. Critical contact points use CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware with an anodized finish for extra durability and corrosion resistance, while the complete assembly still weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) for easy transport and fast handheld-to-support transitions. Compact portability meets reach: the monopod folds to 18.5 inches for travel and expands to 66.9 inches when you need extra height. A 5-section twist-lock leg system lets you deploy and pack up quickly and securely. Stability and load ratings are impressive for such a light design — maximum supported load is 26 lb (12 kg), and the 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter helps resist torsion under heavy telephoto setups. Comfort and field adaptability are built in with a foam grip, safety wrist strap, and an interchangeable rubber foot plus steel spike so you can get traction on pavement or soft ground. The top platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads to work with a wide range of heads and camera plates; attach the included ball head to gain 360° panning, tilt control and a U-notch for swift vertical orientation. The supplied ball head features a precision CNC-machined aluminum body, 17.6 lb capacity, fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, dual bubble levels and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas. When used together, the monopod plus ball head combination is rated for a 30 lb. (13.6 Kg) load.
