4 best xcsource camera monopods

Product description

The XPRO Monopod Aluminium 4-section with Fluid Video Head is a professional full fluid video monopod made to satisfy videographers who leverage the height of their monopod to get above crowds and to achieve a wide range of shooting angles. These state-of-the-art Manfrotto legs have inherited the perfect combination of rigidity and locking safety of professional tripod ranges, like the 190 collection and 055 collection. This monopod is equipped with Manfrotto’s full fluid base (MVMXPROBASE) featuring the innovative FLUIDTECH system that makes Manfrotto XPRO Monopod+ the first of its kind on the market to feature 3D fluidity. The FLUIDTECH video base enables the ultimate shooting smoothness on pan, tilt and swivel for an expanded range of perspectives. The three retractable feet make it extremely portable when folded and allow the monopod to be easily carried everywhere. The new D-shaped aluminium tubes greatly improve anti-rotation resistance throughout the monopod, following the videographer’s rapid rotation movements. Combined with the Quick Power Lock (QPL) which strongly locks the lever onto the monopod tube’s flat side, this eliminates unwanted jerky movements. The newly designed leg warmer guarantees exceptional grip and full footage control with a special version of the successful Manfrotto 500 video head . The MVMXPRO500 replaces the Manfrotto MVM500A

User questions & answers

Question:	When you spin the rubber foot "up" can you attach a 3/8" universal monopod base to it
Answer:	I would say "No" based on just looking at it. There is a pointed tip that goes out beyond the threads so I cannot imagine the base being able to thread onto this foot because the rubber movable tip does not come off-it just adjusts for dirt or concrete.
Question:	Can I hold on to the grip and put my camera on the other end to take photos and videos of myself? Also, is this monopod waterproof
Answer:	No its not possible to hold on to the grip and place ur camera at the other end. It doesnt have the functionality to do so. This is not one of those monopods that you can take selfies with. And when you mean it can get wet and will not hinder its functions? Then yes
Question:	What is the collapsed length of the monopod
Answer:	Completely collapsed, the monopod is 21 3/8" long (54.3 cm). When packed in the included case, it's 22" (55.9 cm).
Question:	Can the Non-skid rubber foot be unscrewed (removed) in order to connect to the top of a tripod as an extension
Answer:	The answer is, not easily. The screw isnt threaded all the way. It is push in fitting into the pole. Also the spike is part of the screw. You can rip it out, tap the plastic end cap to accept the 3/8 male to 1/4 female adaptor that come with it and then thread on your tripod foot. It will be extra work and you need threading tools but for $18 you may still come out well ahead. You might also be able to buy a 1/4 stud with the same type push in fitting. I have pictures but no way to post it here.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the foot be replaced with a tripod
Answer:	From what I can tell, the main differences are that the Super i-Stubble has a lithium-ion battery and is waterproof. Lithium-ion batteries generally need to be replaced less often and are more expensive than the battery inside the "normal" i-Stubble. The normal i-Stubble is also not waterproof.
Question:	Does it fit into 1 1/4" thread
Answer:	The Super Stubble Ultimate (Li-Ion battery version) comes with a 110-240v charger output is 4.5v 1000ma. Plug is standard US 2pin
Question:	Will this tripod fit all vetch cameras
Answer:	Conair does not offer new blades! If the blade breaks out of warranty, you are out of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the monopod for $42 extend to 65"? No pics showing a 65" ext
Answer:	With the three foot collapsible base my unit measured 66" from the floor to the top of the disc where the camera sits. With just the single rubber foot it measured 64". I stand 6'1" and find this monopod comfortable to use with my D3300 mounted on top. Happy shooting.
Question:	Does the "tripod" portion adjust so it can be freestanding on a sloped surface
Answer:	No. the tightening collar on the bottom, can tighten in the straight up position, but cannot tighten well enough for a sloped position. I would not leave my camera alone even in the straight up position unless everything around was absolutely still, and then probably wouldn’t. monopods with small legs are not really freestanding in my opinion.
Question:	What is the small velcro pouch that comes with it for
Answer:	The pouch attaches to your belt with a velcro flap. There is a small pocket for the foot of the monopod to rest in to aid in stabilizing your camera when you are on the move or in a venue that does not allow monopods on the ground. Behind the pocket there is an open area that acts as a holster for transporting the monopod when not in use on the camera. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will this hold a cellphone gimbal without falling over
Answer:	Yes! It holds my Nikon camera, so I don't think a cell phone would be a problem.
