Description Five section, light weight carbon fiber and magnesium collars monopod. Extremely compact with a minimum length of transportation. The four leg extensions allow the monopod to be rapidly extended to its maximum height. The monopod is equipped with a rapid action extension locks, a wrist strap and a camera platform with dual 1/4-in. and 3/8'' camera fixing screw. Section diameters in mm: 29.2, 24.8, 20.4, 16, 11.6. Product Features Magnesium Castings Lightweight magnesium is used for die-cast parts. Magnesium has a density of 1.74g/cm3 as opposed to aluminum's 2.70g/cm3 - a 35% reduction. Despite its lower weight, magnesium is more rigid than aluminum, and has the same strength per volume. 100% Carbon Fiber Tubes Manfrotto tubes are made of 100% Carbon Fiber in order to reach high quality standards and high levels of performance, rigidity and lightness. Carbon fiber tubes can be very different in quality, depending on the production process and the percent of carbon fiber material present in the tubes. Manfrotto chose to reach the maximum quality using 100% carbon fiber and the pull winding technology (a special production process able to maximize performance, resistance and reliability). |
