FAQs
How stable is the monopod at full height?
The carbon fibre leg handles up to 11 kg, and the folding base adds a noticeable amount of stability when you’re working at its full 166.5 cm height. It stays reliable on flat or slightly uneven ground, especially with a heavier camera.
Can I attach other accessories to the monopod?
Yes. The side 1/4"-20 thread and ARRI locating mount make it easy to add a small monitor, light or wireless receiver. It’s helpful when you want to keep extra kit close to the camera without cluttering the head.
Is the head removable or compatible with other systems?
The head uses a dual-ended spigot with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, so you can swap in other heads if needed. The supplied ball head is Arca-compatible and offers separate pan and tilt locks.
Is it suitable for long days on location?
At 1.7 kg, it’s manageable to carry, and the 68 cm folded length fits easily into most shoulder bags. The carbon build helps reduce fatigue when you’re frequently repositioning throughout the day.
Does the bubble level help with stills or video?
The built-in level is handy for both. It gives you a quick horizontal reference when setting the height or aligning for static shots, saving time when you’re working fast.
