The 3.4 lb MA600 4-Stage Aluminum Monopod from E-Image has a flip-lock leg system that you can disengage and extend each section to a maximum height of 79.1'. Collapsing the monopod yields a closed length of 26.8' to shoot at a lower stance or simply to transport. The monopod has a load capacity of 44.1 lb and a foam grip that allows you to hold it comfortably. At the bottom, the fold-out swiveling base is ideal for video capture because it rotates a full 360° and maneuvers to any required angle.
