Overview

The MVMXPROA4577US XPRO Video Monopod from Manfrotto is a 4-section aluminum video support equipped with Manfrotto's FLUIDTECH base and a 577 video adapter.

A versatile kit for nearly any videographer or filmmaker, the MVMXPROA4577US can often travel places tripods cannot, providing additional stability and supporting heavy equipment when required. The 4-section design, when paired with an aluminum construction, results in an easy to transport setup weighing just 3.1 lb. With a maximum height of 76.5" and a minimum height of just 27.5", the MVMXPROA4577US can be adjusted to suit users of varying heights and for various different tasks.

While the design of a monopod is relatively simple, the Manfrotto Monopod+ line utilizes some innovative features which make using the MVMXPROA4577US fast and easy. The primary feature of the line is the inclusion of Manfrotto's patented Power-Lock flip locks which snap open and closed to ensure fast operation and a tight, unyielding lock. The D-shaped leg sections have been designed not only to compliment the Power-Locks but also to prevent unwanted twisting between leg sections and increase the stability of the monopod. The integrated FLUIDTECH base utilizes a "3D" fluid cartridge which facilitates smooth pans and tilts from a single connection point. The cartridge may be locked vertically to isolate movement to only the 360° panning axis, allowing for smooth, level, uninterrupted rotation. While engaging the vertical lock may allow the monopod to stand, it does not support free-standing function and should not be left unattended when not in use.

The MVMXPROA4577US also includes a 577 video adapter which allows the user to balance their camera on top of the monopod via a sliding quick release plate. The adapter is a basic flat-mount, quick release clamp and does not move, tilt, or articulate in any way. A 501PL quick release plate is also included, allowing for quick mounting and dismounting of your camera or camcorder.

Additionally, the Monopod+ line also features Manfrotto's standard rubber leg warmer for an improved grip and an adjustable hand strap for extra security. A 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting thread is provided under the 577 adapter should the user choose to use the monopod without the head for direct camera mounting.
