Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod (Dual Optional Head) for Olympus Evolt E-1

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing to deliver high stiffness, strength, and low vibration. Critical joints are CNC-machined from aluminum alloy and finished with anodizing for extra corrosion resistance. The unit remains highly portable at just 1.1 lb (480g), making it well suited to run-and-gun shooting or travel to remote locations. Compact when stowed yet 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 pack down quickly, while the 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter provides strong torsional stability for long-telephoto work, overhead angles, or smooth subject tracking in crowded or uneven environments. Carry comfort and grip are provided by a foam handle and a safety wrist strap. For secure footing on different surfaces you get an interchangeable rubber foot and a steel spike. Despite the lightweight construction, the monopod supports a 26 lb (12 kg) payload, suitable for heavy DSLR and mirrorless camera and lens combinations. Mounting is flexible: the top platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads so it works with a wide range of heads and quick-release plates. The included ball head enables 360° panning, tilt control, and features a U-notch for fast vertical orientation — useful when switching between stills and video. The ball head itself is CNC-machined from aluminum and rated for 17.6 lb. It includes fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops, dual bubble levels for quick leveling, and indexed base markings to aid repeatable panoramas. When the monopod and ball head are used together the combined load rating is 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
