The TR-500 The Rock Monopod with 3-Way Panhead from Carson is a 4-section support with flip leg locks that enable you to open each section and extend the monopod to a maximum height of 57.4". The 3-way fluid head has a load capacity of 5.5 lb and includes a quick release plate with a 1/4"-20 camera mounting thread. With this type of head, it is easy to follow fast-moving subjects such as in sports or wildlife. The fold-out rubber feet provide a stable grip onto the ground and prevent the monopod from sliding on smooth surfaces. Additionally, a padded grip and wrist strap allow you to maintain a firm grip on the 2 lb monopod.
