The SmallRig 5565 Carbon Fiber Video Monopod provides stable support for photographers working in tight spaces or on the move. The top features a 1/4"-20 screw for connecting and expanding setups, while the base includes dual 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws for broad compatibility with various photography and videography equipment. It reaches a working height of 1750mm / 68.9 in to meet diverse shooting needs, yet collapses to just 76cm / 29.9 in for easy transport, weighing only 2500g / 5.51 lb. Three 1/4"-20 mounting holes allow for additional accessories like magic arms.
The monopod includes a compact fluid head with 3kg / 6.61 lb of balanced rebound force and supports loads up to 5kg / 11.02 lb, ideal for small to medium cameras. The head is compatible with DJI RS series quick-release plates and standard Manfrotto plates (501PL), enabling quick transitions between gimbals and tripods. A built-in bubble level assists in achieving horizontal alignment across various shooting scenarios.
Note:
Before shooting, ensure all locks on the head and monopod are securely tightened.
Avoid use in sandy or dusty environments to prevent damage.
