This carbon fibre monopod combines fast operation, improved stability and flexible shooting support in a lightweight design. A fingertip release system helps reduce shake compared with traditional one-handed operation, while the integrated pedal base provides quick control over movement and positioning.

The 3-section leg system offers a maximum working height of 141cm, with a hidden extension tube available when extra reach is required up to 172cm. Designed for photographers and filmmakers who need mobility without sacrificing support, it can be adapted for standard monopod use, fixed support, hiking pole mode and light stand applications.

How it works / Component breakdown

Fingertip release system

The fingertip release design allows quick adjustments while maintaining a more stable grip. Compared with one-handed operation, the system is designed to help reduce movement and improve shooting stability.

3+1 section carbon fibre leg

The three main leg sections provide a recommended stable shooting setup, reaching up to 141cm. A hidden fourth extension section provides additional height when needed, extending the monopod up to 172cm for specific shooting situations.

Pedal base system

The pedal base allows fast repositioning and smoother operation:

  • Step on the pedal to unlock swivelling movement
  • Kick the pedal left to allow the leg tube to return and lock centrally
  • Two-angle pedal settings support different terrain conditions
  • The extended pedal design improves stability

Arca-compatible connections

The leg tube and pedal base use Arca-compatible connections for familiar operation and quick setup switching.

Multi-mode versatility

The monopod can be adapted for different shooting requirements:

  • Fixed support mode for reducing hand fatigue during longer sessions
  • Hiking pole mode for outdoor movement
  • Ground mode for low-angle support
  • Standard monopod mode for everyday shooting

Accessory support

An ARRI locating screw hole allows the mounting of accessories such as magic arms or other compatible equipment. The 1/4" thread provides additional mounting options for accessories, including monitors and lights.

Why choose this product or kit

This monopod is designed for creators who need a balance between portability and support. The carbon fibre construction keeps weight down for travel, while the pedal base and quick-release system make it faster to adjust during active shooting environments.

The combination of monopod support, flexible positioning and accessory compatibility makes it suitable for hybrid photo and video workflows.

Ideal uses

  • Telephoto lens support
  • Event and documentary filming
  • Outdoor photography
  • Travel content creation
  • Video rigs with monitors or accessories
  • Location lighting setups, when combined with compatible support legs

FAQs

Can the monopod reach 172cm?
Yes. The standard 3-section leg setup reaches 141cm, with the hidden extension tube allowing a maximum height of 172cm.

Is the fourth leg section recommended for regular shooting?
For maximum stability, the first three sections are recommended. The fourth section is intended as a backup extension when additional height is required.

Can accessories be mounted?
Yes. It includes a 1/4" thread and an ARRI locating screw hole for compatible accessories.

Can it be used as a light stand?
The nano leg tube can combine with light stand legs to create a light stand setup.
