Versatile monopod, lightweight but solid construction. Excellent value for this price point.

Monopod
The Benro Connect is a video monopod with a unique 3-leg base that converts to a low angle tripod/hi-hat. Ready for run-and-gun shooting with unmatched versatility, this monopod is a compact, portable, and versatile tool for videographers on the go.

You can convert your monopod to a low angle tripod/hi-hat simply by pulling down on the lock sleeve you can unscrew the video head and the 3-leg base. These two pieces can be connected to create your low angle tripod/hi-hat.

The 3-leg base has 3-position leg angle adjustment locks, with each leg able to be positioned individually. After you're done shooting, the legs can be reverse folded, making it easy for carrying or storage.

The 3-leg base also has a built-in ball with lock knob for dynamic movements, or to level out your shot. When shooting in low angle mode, you can utilize the 90 Degree notch for a vertical orientation, essential when shooting for mobile applications.

S2 Head
Each size includes an S-Series head - to couple with your monopod, providing you with uncompromising performance. The largest of the family is the S6 Series Head, which supports up to 13.2 lbs, and features a fluid drag control coupled with a 3-step counter balance. An interchangeable telescoping pan arm and an illuminated bubble level are included.

At one size smaller - the S4 Series features a head supporting up to 8.8 lbs. The S4 kit features a fixed counterbalance fluid head, an interchangeable pan arm and an integrated bubble level.

The smallest of the Connect family is the S2 Series. Featuring a simple fluid head supporting up to 5.51 lbs, it gives you the ability to lock the pan, and lock the tilt.

Features
