Monopod

The camera monopod is a versatile support, which is an attractive alternative to the traditional tripod. Many photographers and videographers use monopods for sports, wildlife, travel and general outdoor shooting, due to being compact, portable and offering a high level of stability. We stock models in every size, made from aluminium or carbon fibre, with or without stabilising feet and in kits with a ball head or fluid head.

A monopod provides several benefits for photography and videography. By using a monopod for camera, you’ll find yourself free from supporting the weight of the body and lens, which can give far better results than shooting handheld without any support. Another benefit is the ability to point the camera in different directions more quickly and more smoothly compared to using a tripod. This provides versatility and speed, which is ideal for capturing fast moving action.

These features ensure single leg supports are favoured by sports and wildlife photographers shooting with long telephoto lenses. Monopods for cameras will also be seen in press photography scrums, or by the catwalk during fashion shows, when space is at a premium.

Monopods are made with different materials and load capacities, from highly compact and lightweight models for smaller equipment loads, to taller extending legs with stabiliser feet. These are ideal for medium format, professional gripped DSLRs and heavy video cameras, with some able to support payloads of 30kg and higher.

When choosing your monopod, consider the number of leg sections and whether a tripod head is suitable for your style of content creation. Less leg sections provide greater stability when extended, whilst a higher number are more compact when folded down. Feet can often be replaced with spikes for shooting on different surfaces and legs are available with flip-locks and twist locks, just like their tripod counterparts.
