DESCRIPTION

The MPQ monopods are constructed with Leofoto's latest 3rd generation carbon fibre with increased density and a new "snow capped mountain pattern" inspired by nature.

Featuring a durable rubber grip and wrist strap for security, the MPQ Series monopod is capable of supporting cameras with large telephoto lenses.

The rubber foot prevents it from sliding on smooth surfaces, but is also removable and can be replaced with a separately available steel claw, spike, or other Leofoto accessory to facilitate the best traction for any given terrain. 

When not in use, turn the ergonomic twist leg locks to collapse the support down and pack it in the included carrying case. The threaded mounting stud on the top of the monopod features a convertible 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screw, making it universal for most cameras and lenses.
