Monostat RS16K Carbon Fiber Monopod

There are many occasions when a photographer needs a camera support and using a tripod is just not practical. Monostat-RS monopods are the ideal imaging solution for most photographic situations, but backpackers, nature and sports photographers need the lightest, strongest possible monopod. That's when Monostat's RS16K Carbon is the answer. Constructed of high-tech carbon fiber, the RS16K Carbon can handle even the heaviest digital or film SLR or video camera without any problems making it the perfect monopod for serious amateur or professional photography and video applications.

Like all Monostat monopods, the RS16K Carbon has the unique Rotation Stabilizer foot ensuring steady shots with even heavy super-telephoto lenses guaranteeing the capture of tack-sharp pictures from the first shot. The monopod's vibration absorbing carbon fiber construction combined with the foot's revolutionary "Swivel Toe Stabilizer" even permits photographers to make rock-steady shots at up to a 60-degree angle from the horizontal.

The strength and rigidity of the RS16K Carbon makes it ideal for extreme weather conditions where the surface of the four-section tube doesn't get as hot - or cold - as a metal monopod can The Rotation Stabilizer foot keeps the monopod stable along both vertical and horizontal axes and its carbon fiber construction offers inherent vibration damping qualities and along with its light weight makes it easy to carry on your next photo or video trek.

The Monostat-RS is a must-have monopod for steady video shooting too. The friction-bearing design of the Rotation Stabilizer foot prevents involuntary movements around the leg's longitudinal axis permitting smooth horizontal motion for capturing moving objects or shooting panoramic views making it especially useful for capturing amateur or professional sports as well as scenic videography. The foot's construction makes it possible to produce sharp photographs on slippery surfaces yet is even safe for use on expensive wooden floors

The Monostat RS16K Carbon uses a four-section design and weighs 16.75 ounces. It has a maximum length of 60.6 inches, yet retracts to a highly transportable 20.9-inches. As with other Monostat-RS monopods, the RS-16K Carbon has a reversible 3/8, ¼-inch camera mount allowing for convenient attachment of most types of cameras ranging from point-and-shoot to video and up to the heaviest digital or film SLR. The twist-lock legs work well in all kinds of weather; they can always be tightened whatever the temperature may be.
