Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Can you detach the rubber foot bottom and add a Robus SB-001 base to this monopod?
A: Yes the Robus SB-001 can work at the bottom of this monopod.
Q: 2. Does this monpod have a wrist strap?
A: It does, and it is easily moved from side to side ( e.g. when an attachment for your camera dictates one side be used).
Q: 3. The pivot foot is too stiff and makes panning difficult. In soft ground the whole foot grabs the dirt. Any replacement ideas without buying 3 feet?
A: Really the best solution is the Benro 3-Leg Locking Base For Monopods linked here. https://bhpho.to/3fC8c6s. This will grip the ground and then allow for smooth panning. Any solution without 3 feet on the bottom will not have the same panning action.
Q: 4. Does this include a bag/carrying case?
A: I'm sorry, no.
Q: 5. How does the monopod rotate on the bottom?
A: When the legs of the monopod are locked, they are not designed to rotate. If you need to rotate your camera, you would rotate/pivot the monopod in your hand or rotate your body.
Q: 6. Will the Benro 3 leg locking base #BEVT2 work on this monopod?
A: I can't address the issue of the foot being removable from this particular monopod but I can respond to the usefulness of Benro three footed monopods. First of all to make a blanket statement that three footed monopods are useless is ridiculous. I have a Benro three footed monopod that I use with binoculars and a small spotting Scope and it performs very well. It adds a great deal to the stability of the view through these optics, far better than a conventional monopod. It's not as stabil as a tripod but it does a good job and is lighter in weight, has a smaller foot print and is easier to move about. So, just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it can't work for someone else.
Q: 7. Can the rubber foot of the Benro MAD38A monopod be unscrewed off the foot, then the monopod be attached to the Benro VT2 (3-feet locking base)?
A: I have read on the 3-foot base page that people have used it with the MAD 38A - so I'm confused! There is a tool included that fits the nut holding the included foot on, but I cannot turn it myself to see what the results are. So, there is conflicting information out there (here).
Q: 8. has any one been able to get it packed in carry-on luggage?
A: Yes it will fit in my carry on bag,it is 21 and 1 half in. With foot on
Q: 9. Does the this monopod have a removable foot revealing a thread at the bottom? I've seen mixed answers on this with someone claiming the aluminum version does not but another stated the carbon fiber version does. I'd be using this to affix the monopod to the top of a sturdy lightstand for more height. I understand the risks involved and would be standing beneath the unit supporting it at all times. Thanks
A: I have the aluminum version of this tripod. It appears that the ball joint and foot are connected to the bottom of the tripod via a threaded shaft. It takes a wrench to get it off, though, and I have not tried this.
Q: 10. I am planning on using a GT2 Tomahawk Gimbel with this Monopod. Which panning plate would work well with both of these? I do no want to get a separate ball head for the mono.
A: You do not need a panning plate to use the ProMediaGear GT2 Tomahawk Gimbal Attachment for Ball Heads on the Benro MSD46C SupaDupa Carbon Fiber Monopod (72"). One can simply spin the monopod to pan the camera.
