The Lighty Pod Monopod with SBH-100AC Ball Head from Slik is a portable combination designed for light weight mirrorless or DSLR camera setups. It can support up to 6.6 lb while collapsed down to just 20.8" or fully to extended 63.7". The aluminum construction of the five sections makes the monopod sturdy, and indented grooves prevent unwanted movement during adjustment. An arca-type release plate with 1-4"-20 mounting screw means the ball head is widely compatible and easy to switch equipment in and out of, while its two notches allow for a full vertical tilt at 90°.

Load Capacity: 6.6 lb    Height Range: 20.8 - 63.7"    Sections: 5

Q: 2. Can this be used for the solo shot 3?

A: With this tripod having a 4.5 pound load capacity it would not be our first recommendation for the Solo Shot. You will want a sturdier tripod to handle both the weight of the camera along with it panning on its own. A Magnus VT-350 Video Tripod with Fluid Head, which has a 15 pound load capacity, is a better choice. You will need a reducer bushing as well.
