The new XPRO Video Monopod Aluminium 4-section with sliding plate is a professional full fluid video monopod made to satisfy videographers who leverage the height of their monopod to get above crowds & to achieve a wide range of shooting angles. These state-of-the-art Manfrotto legs have inherited the perfect combination of rigidity & locking safety of professional tripod ranges like the 190 collection & the 055 collection. This monopod is equipped with Manfrottos full fluid base MVMXPROBASE featuring the innovative FLUIDTECH system that makes Manfrotto XPRO Monopod the first of its kind on the market to feature 3D fluidity. The FLUIDTECH video base enables the ultimate shooting smoothness on pan tilt & swivel for an expanded range of perspectives. The three retractable feet make it extremely portable when folded & allow the monopod to be easily carried everywhere. The new D-shaped aluminium tubes greatly improve anti-rotation resistance throughout the monopod following the videographers rapid rotation movements. Combined with the Quick Power Lock QPL which strongly locks the lever onto the monopod tubes flat side this eliminates unwanted jerky movements. The newly designed leg warmer provides exceptional grip for full shooting control while the 577 adapter with the 501PL video sliding plate make it possible to achieve the right camera balance. This new full fluid video monopod is ideal for camcorders up to 17. 6lb 8kg. The MVMXPROA4577 replaces the Manfrotto 562B-1
