The SmallRig Carbon Fiber Video Monopod 5565 provides stable support where there is no room for a tripod and when working on the move. The top features a 1/4"-20 screw for connecting and expanding setups, while the base includes dual 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for broad compatibility with photography and videography equipment. It reaches a working height of 1750 mm (68.9 in), collapses to just 76 cm (29.9 in) and weighs 2500 g (5.51 lb). Three 1/4"-20 mounting holes carry additional accessories such as magic arms.
A compact fluid head is included, with 3 kg (6.61 lb) of balanced counterbalance force and support for loads up to 5 kg (11.02 lb) — ideal for small to medium cameras. The head accepts DJI RS series quick release plates and standard Manfrotto 501PL plates, enabling quick transitions between gimbals and tripods. A built-in bubble level helps level the horizon.
