VariZoom CHICKENFOOT101 monopod carbon fiber with photohead

The VariZoom CHICKENFOOT101 Carbon Fiber Monopod with Photo Head is a lightweight, versatile support system that combines the portability of a monopod with the added stability of a folding tripod base. Featuring a 4-stage carbon fiber design and a professional 3-way photo head, it’s ideal for photographers and videographers who need fast setup and flexible shooting angles.

The VariZoom CHICKENFOOT101 ChickenFoot Carbon Fiber Monopod is a compact and highly adaptable support solution designed for dynamic shooting environments. It offers the speed and mobility of a traditional monopod while adding enhanced stability through its fold-down “chickenfoot” tripod base. A ball-joint connection between the monopod and base allows smooth repositioning, making it easy to capture shots from virtually any angle.

The 4-stage carbon fiber construction collapses to a compact size for transport and extends to over 6.5 feet while maintaining excellent rigidity. High-quality twist-lock fittings ensure fast, secure height adjustments during on-the-go shooting. The folding tripod base locks into three positions for flexible operation and can be removed entirely to use the system as a standard monopod. Adjustable rubber feet allow precise leveling, while included spiked feet provide extra grip on uneven or outdoor surfaces.

The kit includes the VZPH1568 3-way photo head, a heavy-duty aluminum head with fluid pan, tilt, and roll movement. Featuring dual twist-lock handles, a large quick-release plate, three bubble levels, and index markings on all axes, the PH1568 delivers smooth, controlled camera movement for still photography and light video work. A padded carrying case and wrist strap are also included for safe transport and handling.
