Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod with Optional Dual Head for Olympus Evolt E-500

Built for demanding photo and video work, this monopod uses 10-layer carbon fiber tubing for exceptional stiffness, strength, and vibration resistance. Critical components are CNC-machined from aluminum alloy and finished with anodize treatment for improved durability and corrosion protection, yet the unit weighs only 1.1 lb (480g) for easy transport. Compact when packed, tall in use: the monopod collapses to 18.5 inches and extends to 66.9 inches, offering useful reach for overhead angles, tracking, and long-telephoto support. Its 5-section twist-lock leg design allows quick, secure extension and collapse on uneven ground or in tight spaces. Despite the light build, the monopod carries a 26 lb (12 kg) load capacity. A 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter provides strong torsional stability. The design includes a comfortable foam grip, safety wrist strap, and interchangeable rubber foot plus steel spike so you can maintain traction on a variety of surfaces. The top platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility with heads and accessories. The package includes a premium ball head that enables 360° panning, tilt movement, and a U-notch for fast vertical orientation—ideal for alternating between stills and video. The supplied ball head is CNC-machined from aluminum, rated for 17.6 lb, and features fine-tune damping to prevent sudden drops. Dual bubble levels aid quick leveling and indexed base markings help with repeatable panoramic shots. When used together, the monopod plus ball head combination provides a total load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
