If you have an older/different model iFootage monopod you can purchase the pedal base separately and it will fit on the bottom of your iFootage monopod. I just did this.

I have had mine for a couple of years and great bits of kit they truly are.

FYI, I'm a lever guy because, for me, it is easier to tell that it is locked. Moot point on my monopod since you seldom let go of it but, for a tripod, don't get that screw lock tight, you can't see the problem = camera on the ground. Thanks for showing off some great features on the iFootage monopod. Appreciate for the demo!

Good point!

I shoot a lot of nature videos, and this would be great for a lighter weight option when I'm out hiking and exploring. And yes, I'm interested in learning more about balancing the camera.

Hahaha! "A video, video" 😅 Cool stuff Daniel!

Great video showing the features of the monopod. I really want one, but don't think I'd ever actually use it :( (I don't shoot much video)

I have the ifootage monopod and tripod. Doesn’t get any better. Every photographer is jealous of my tripod 😂 Their stuff really is that good

On a monopod, I definitely prefer the screw-lock over the lever-lock mechanism. The base of this monopod, the one without the pedal, is so useful on its own. And its design is very nice. Ex.: I use my own as a very low tripod that already has a ball head for filming macro movies on my kitchen counter... 😃

Nice

will this monopod and k5s hold a sony camera with a sigma lens 60-600mm?

@jpdj2715 Жыл бұрын

The monopods are interesting and the video head is, but I would not use them in this way. To me this sways too much. I might use a monopod for a stationary (light) camera that records video as an overview camera or an alternative viewpoint in an interview, more or less unattended (untouched), in a location where there's no wind. Still, nice video - as always.

@AndrewVanBeekOttawa Жыл бұрын

Can you lock the base with the pedal and any angle other than straight up or does it require being held?

@DanielNortonPhotographer Жыл бұрын

In the center only, even if you could lock it, the weight on top would never balance and it would fall

@MicahTischler Жыл бұрын

Almost certainly a dumb question, but doesn't adjusting the balance in such a manner shift the axis of rotation on pans away from the focal plane ... and doesn't that produce a weird effect for viewers? (I barely ever touch video topics, so I apologize if this is idiotic to ask.)

@DanielNortonPhotographer Жыл бұрын

Yes, it would mess with the pan, but you would not use the two functions together IMO
