Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod (Dual Optional Head) for Fujifilm FinePix S8500

High-strength 10-layer carbon fiber tubing provides exceptional stiffness and vibration damping while CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware with an anodized finish delivers long-term durability and corrosion resistance. The monopod weighs just 1.1 lb (480g), making it a lightweight option for run-and-gun shooting or travel. Collapsing to 18.5 inches and extending to 66.9 inches, the 5-section twist-lock leg system enables rapid setup and breakdown for overhead shots, stable tracking, or long-telephoto work. Engineered to support a 26 lb (12 kg) load, the 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter gives excellent torsional stability; user comfort and control are aided by a foam grip, safety wrist strap, and interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike for varied surfaces. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility. An included ball head offers 360° panning, tilt adjustment and a U-notch for fast portrait-orientation work; it features a precision CNC-machined aluminum body, fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, dual bubble levels and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas, and a 17.6 lb load capacity. When used together, the monopod and ball head have a combined load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
