Whether you're shooting fast-moving sports, wildlife, or on-location interviews, this aluminum monopod with tripod base provides rock-solid support and smooth maneuverability.

Advanced Support with 3-Leg Locking Base

What sets the A48FD apart from traditional monopods is its integrated 3-leg locking base, which acts as a mini tripod. This provides three stable points of ground contact, improving balance and enabling fluid panning and tilting. The base features a ball joint for intuitive movement, and it can be locked for static shots or replaced with a standard rubber foot for traditional monopod use.

• Monopod tripod base for increased stability
• The ball joint provides smooth pan and tilt movement
• A detachable rubber foot is supplied for portability

Professional Load Capacity and Height Range

Built for heavier loads, the A48FD is able to support 44.1 pounds, making it ideal for professional-level video cameras, telephoto lenses, and camera add-ons. At a maximum height of 64.6" and folded length of only 22", this monopod is suitable for a variety of shooting situations and can easily be stowed away in travel cases or gear bags.

• Accommodates DSLRs, cinema cameras, and camcorders
• Increased height for eye-level or overhead shots
• Collapsible fold-down design for transport and storage

Fast and Secure Flip-Lock Leg System

The monopod has a four-section leg construction held securely by rugged flip locks for speedy setup and breakdown. The flip locks keep each section solidly in place, even when shooting high-action sequences or resetting fast on location.

• Four-section aluminum monopod for adaptability
• Durable flip-lock mechanism for quick adjustments
• Designed for ruggedness in harsh shooting conditions

Several Shooting Modes for Flexibility

Whether shooting handheld, over uneven terrain, or requiring additional stability, the Benro A48FD monopod is adaptive to your requirements. Switch between the 3-leg base for fixed-position shooting or the rubber foot for more dynamic, more agile operation. The ball joint may also be locked, providing you with added control with a video pan head or fluid head.
