The YC Onion Tako Pedal Base is designed to transform a monopod into a more dynamic, fluid shooting tool. Built for use with the Tako Nano Carbon Fibre Monopod, it introduces controlled movement, quick repositioning, and improved stability for both photo and video work.

With a foot-operated pedal, you can instantly switch between locked and swivelling modes without taking your hands off the camera. This makes it far easier to follow motion, adjust framing, or reposition quickly during a shoot. An integrated Arca-type quick release receiver allows fast mounting of compatible monopods or cameras, reducing downtime between setups and making it simple to switch between high and low shooting angles.

Who this is for

  • Videographers needing smoother monopod movement
  • Event shooters working quickly in changing environments
  • Content creators capturing motion or tracking subjects
  • Photographers who want more flexibility from a monopod setup

At a glance

  • Foot pedal enables or disables swivel instantly
  • Adjustable drag for controlled movement
  • Dual-angle locking legs for flexible positioning
  • Arca-type quick release for fast mounting
  • Compact, durable aluminium construction

How it works

Pedal-controlled swivel

Step on the pedal to unlock the base and enable smooth swivelling motion. This allows you to track subjects or reposition fluidly without lifting the monopod.

Adjustable drag system

Use the adjustment knob to fine-tune how freely the base moves. Increase resistance for more control or loosen it for faster, more fluid motion depending on your shooting style.

Dual-angle locking legs

The base legs can be locked at two distinct angles, helping you adapt to uneven ground or different shooting positions while maintaining stability.

Arca-type quick release receiver

The built-in Arca-compatible mount allows quick attachment of a monopod or camera with a compatible plate, speeding up setup and transitions between configurations.

Why choose this product

This base adds a layer of control and versatility that a standard monopod alone can’t provide. The foot-operated system keeps your workflow uninterrupted, while the adjustable drag gives you control over movement—especially useful for video. It’s a practical upgrade for anyone who needs mobility without sacrificing stability.
