Q: 1. What is the exact weight of the tripod - just over 1 lb isn't very accurate.Also, what is the weight of the VH-R2 monopod head?

A: The Velbon CTM-2400 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod weighs 12.8 oz (0.38 kg). The VH-R2 Swivel/Tilt Monopod Head weighs 10.2 oz (.29 kg). So, together the CTM-2400 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod w/ VH-R2 Swivel/Tilt Monopod Head Kit weighs 23 oz (0.67 kg).

Q: 2. The second pic, how does the monopod single leg extend from the 3 leg base? It's manually attached or?

A: Please look at the rubber twist lock. Turn that and a leg extends from inside the mini tripod ring.

Q: 3. what country is this item manufactured in?

Q: 5. I am going on an Alaskan cruise through the Interior Passage. Four ports. Helicoper ride/dog sled run. Canon 5d Mark IV. Heaviest lens 24-105. Do you think this will work as a general lightweight all-around? Senior lady who wants an easy way to take photos without shaking using different lens. Thank you!

A: One of the great advantages of today's digital cameras is the very high ISO ratings they have. With these high ISO's, you can shoot at a commensurate high shutter speed. Shooting at 1000, 2000, 3000 shutter speed should negate mild and even moderate shake. Of course, if you have a muscular condition that creates more than a moderate shake, then yes, I think this is a good suggestion. It is light, compact even with the three little legs. It will be good even on board ship. Of course, you will not need it for the helicopter or dog sled. I would also recommend a monopod head. This will allow tilt up and down while the monopod is up and down with the legs deployed. Here is a affordable one: Oben VH-R2 Tilt Head for Monopods B&H # OBVHR2. Here is a mid level quality example: Induro TH2 Tilt Head for Monopods B&H # INTH2. Both of these heads have Arca-Swiss type quick releases. That is to say, the included quick release is a desirable industry standard which allows instant on and off the head. Have fun and don't take any wooden pictures.

Q: 6. Can anyone measure the diameter of the smallest leg section ? Thanks

A: The diameter of the rod at the last (smallest section) is 3/4 inch. The rubber foot on the end of that rod is 7/8 inch in diameter.

Q: 7. Can I attach a fluids base?

A: If you have a tripod fluid head that has a flat base with either 1/4-20 or 3/8″-16 female threads on bottom the base, then yes, the fluid head may be used with the Tiltall Tripod BM-868 4-Section Carbon Fiber Monopod.

Q: 8. Does this monopod work with Benro 3-Leg Locking Base For Monopods B&H # BEVT2 MFR # VT2? Thanks.

A: I have to agree with David F.'s response -- the Oben CTM-2500 doesn't have an available female threaded base to accept the 3-lag locking base. I suspect any threaded receptacle the monopod has is occupied by the extendable spike, which doesn't seem to be removable.
