The 2.6 lb MC600 4-Stage Carbon Fiber Monopod from E-Image has a flip-lock leg system that you can disengage and extend each section to a maximum height of 74.8'. Collapsing the monopod yields a closed length of 25.2' 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.
