The Photo 3-in-1 convertible monopod from National Geographic is a lightweight and easy-to-use all in one camera support solution for photographers and videographers. With a 5.5 lb load capacity, this monopod is compatible with compact and mirrorless cameras and includes an adjustable smartphone holder. This convertible support functions as a stand-alone monopod, a monopod with a sturdy tripod base, or a compact tabletop tripod.

The four-section aluminum monopod has a foam collar for easy and secure grip and is topped with a three-way pan/tilt head. The head has an integrated quick release set in the camera platform, and the platform can rotate 90° for vertical shooting. It also features an independent panning base with locking knob. An impressive maximum height of 6.2' makes it possible to record stills and footage over the heads of a crowd of people.

The tripod base and three-way head can be quickly removed from the monopod and combined to form a mini tabletop tripod, ideal for macro photography, teleconferencing, or making TikTok videos. The tripod base has two-section legs with flip-lock joints for quick adjustment.
