The Benro A48FDS4PRO is a travel friendly flip lock video monopod with an 8.8 lb or 4 kg payload capacity for mirrorless and HDSLR cameras. The S4 PRO Video Monopod features a 3 leg locking base with a ball joint for smooth, stable shots, along with reverse folding legs for compact travel. The S4 PRO head offers 2 steps of counterbalance to help properly balance the camera rig for smoother operation. An independent pan lock allows smooth panning without turning the entire monopod. Additional features include pan and tilt locks, fixed pan and tilt drag, a bubble level, and two 1/4 inch 20 accessory mounts for attaching monitor arms or audio recorders directly to the head without requiring a separate cage or rig.
