The **Key Grip Video Monopod Kit** offers exceptional versatility in a lightweight, portable design, making it ideal for videographers and photographers looking for flexible solutions. Here’s a breakdown of its standout features:
### **Key Features:**
- **Convertible Design**: Switch easily between using the monopod with a 3-leg folding base or a traditional single-foot monopod. The upper section of the monopod can be attached to the 3-leg base for ground-level shooting, offering even more flexibility.
- **Innovative Key Grip Video Head**: The two-way head allows for separate pan and tilt adjustments, with etched scales for precise setups. It includes a removable, extendable control handle with hidden hex key storage (two 4mm hex keys and one 2.5mm key) for tool-free adjustments. The head also features tension control for smooth, controlled tilt movements.
- **Arca-Type Quick Release Plate**: The 3398 Dovetail Quick Release Plate provides secure mounting for cameras, with ¼”-20 and 3/8”-16 bolts. The plate is long (101mm), allowing for easy balancing of rigs and featuring safety bolts and repositionable directions for added convenience.
- **Secure and Comfortable Grip**: Soft silicone covers the monopod, handle, and twist locks, ensuring a comfortable, non-slip grip, even in cold temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C).
- **Height Versatility**: The monopod extends to over 6 feet tall, providing a vantage point above crowds. It’s perfect for event photography or videography where height is needed. You can also work at ground level by attaching the upper portion to the 3-leg base.
- **Stable 3-Leg Base**: The base has wide, foldable legs that provide a sturdy foundation, with a ball joint for smooth panning and tilting. The vertical lock feature on the ball joint ensures smooth, steady panning movements when desired.
- **Multiple Foot Options**: Whether you need a soft foot for traditional use or a stainless steel spike for rough terrain, both are included, giving you options for different environments.
