Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod — Dual-Option Head for Sony PMW-EX3

Rugged 10-layer carbon fiber body: Constructed from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for outstanding stiffness, strength and vibration rejection, this monopod is finished with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware and an anodized coating for extra durability and corrosion resistance. The ultra-rigid build weighs only 1.1 lb (480g), making it a great choice for run-and-gun work or travel shoots. Compact travel profile, tall reach: The five-section twist-lock leg design collapses to 18.5 inches for easy transport and extends to a maximum height of 66.9 inches for overhead perspectives, long-telephoto support, or stable tracking shots. Quick setup and secure locking are provided by the 5-section twist-lock system. High payload and stability features: Despite its light weight, the monopod supports up to 26 lb (12 kg). A 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter delivers excellent torsional stability. Comfort and control come from a foam grip and a safety wrist strap, while the included interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike provide reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. Flexible mounting and professional ball head: The top platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads to work with a wide range of cameras and accessories. Add the supplied ball head for 360° panning, smooth tilt control and a U-notch for fast vertical orientation. The precision CNC-machined aluminum ball head includes fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, dual bubble levels for quick leveling and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas. Its rated load capacity is 17.6 lb. Combined capability: When the monopod and ball head are used together the system will handle a combined load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg). This setup offers a professional, lightweight solution for stills and video with the Sony PMW-EX3 and similar rigs.
