Benro A38FD Series 3 Aluminum Monopod with 3-Leg Locking Base

Elegant Professional Mobility and Stability in One Hybrid Camera Support

For shooting dynamic video or stills in high-pressure situations, you require equipment that responds as rapidly as you do. The Benro A38FD Series 3 Aluminum Monopod with 3-Leg Locking Base provides the perfect combination of lightweight transportability, reliability, and versatility, making it an essential tool for serious photographers and videographers on the go.

This heavy-duty video monopod with tripod base merges the portable lightness of a monopod with the stability of a tripod, ideal for filming events, wildlife, sports, and film scenes. Its maximum load capacity of 39.7 pounds makes it effortlessly hold DSLRs, camcorders, mirrorless cameras, and video rigs with or without big lenses or other accessories.

Strong Yet Lightweight – Designed for the Field

Made of high-quality aluminum, the A38FD monopod is designed to be both light and rugged, perfect for all-day use on field shoots. With a height of up to 61 inches, it offers great reach for overhead or raised shots, but packs down to a convenient 21.3-inch folded length for easy carrying and storage. This has made it a go-to item for travel photographers, documentary shooters, and mobile content producers who demand gear that goes light without compromising on performance.

Whether you are hiking through the great outdoors or staging on a busy production site, this compact monopod with high-capacity weight won't fail you.

Innovative 3-Leg Locking Base for Rock-Solid Control

The standout aspect of the Benro A38FD is its 3-leg locking base, which can be detached and converted it from an ordinary monopod to a half-tripod setup. The fold-out mini tripod base provides three points of contact on the ground, greatly improving stability and alleviating fatigue when shooting for extended periods. Integrated ball joint mechanism enables easy 360° panning and tilt movement, making it perfect for smooth video movements or tracking action shots.

You can freeze the ball joint for fixed-angle use with a compatible fluid or pan head, or remove the tripod base and use the included rubber foot for more conventional monopod operation. This versatile construction is suited to shooters who switch between run-and-gun work and stand-and-shoot configurations.

Quick Adjustments with Flip Locks and Four-Section Construction

Armed with four heavy-duty aluminum leg sections and rapid-action flip locks, the A38FD can be made for quick height adjustments and instant breakdown. Its design accommodates swift deployment, particularly useful if you need to respond immediately to changing landscapes or light situations.

Every leg lock is stable and ergonomic, designed for performance in everyday and professional use. This provides for quick repositioning in event coverage, sports photography, or on-location interviews—any situation where stability and speed are called for.
