The Libec SS-5 Monopod Set includes two monopods for providing additional support for your ALX S series slider when the slider is already mounted on a tripod. Instead of carrying around two tripods, you can mount your slider on one tripod, and then secure one of these monopods under each end of the slider. The monopods will hold up the ends while your tripod holds up the middle of the slider.

The monopods are height adjustable from approximately 17 to 55" in four stages and secured via flip locks at each stage. They're made of aluminum and feature a 1/4"-20 mounting screw on top for securing into the slider. A knob near the mounting platform allows you to adjust the tilt position of the mounting platform, allowing you to find the sweet spot when securing to your slider.
