Professional Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber 70" Monopod/Unipod with Optional Dual Head for Sony HDR-XR500V

Built from 10-layer carbon fiber tubing, this monopod combines exceptional stiffness and vibration resistance with CNC-machined aluminum alloy hardware finished in anodized coating for long-lasting corrosion protection. The unit weighs just 1.1 lb (480g), making it easy to carry for run-and-gun work or travel without sacrificing strength. The leg collapses to 18.5 inches for compact transport and extends to 66.9 inches to reach overhead or long-telephoto positions. A 5-section twist-lock system allows rapid, secure setup and takedown on uneven ground or in tight spaces. Despite its light weight, the monopod supports up to 26 lb (12 kg). Its 1.28-inch maximum tube diameter provides strong torsional stability, while a comfortable foam grip and safety wrist strap improve handling. Traction is ensured with an interchangeable rubber foot and steel spike for varied surfaces. The mounting platform accepts both 1/4" and 3/8" threads for broad compatibility with camera gear. Add the included ball head to enable 360° panning, precise tilt control and a U-notch for quick vertical framing—ideal for switching between stills and video. The supplied ball head features a precision CNC-machined aluminum body, fine-tune damping to prevent abrupt drops, a 17.6 lb load capacity, dual bubble levels for easy leveling, and indexed base markings for repeatable panoramas. Using the monopod together with the ball head will have a load capacity of 30 lb. (13.6 Kg).
