Tripods / Monopods

Monopods are a great choice when some extra stability is needed but a tripod is too inflexible or cumbersome. Combined with a fluid head and base, a monopod can for smooth movements in all directions and makes it perfect for stills or video. They can also help relieve the weight of heavy gear over long shooting periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The same principle applies as with a tripod. Use the standard 1/4-inch screw mount to attach the camera to the monopod's head.

  • Most Manfrotto monopods have a flip lock or twist lock mechanism to adjust and secure the leg sections.
