The GIM505XLTH4 Grand Stealth Series 5 Carbon Fiber Monopod Kit with TH4 Tilt Head from Induro provides lightweight support for shooting in tight spaces, plus the mobility required for quick shooting on the fly. With a maximum height of 84.7", a folded length of 28", and weighing only 3.2 lb, the monopod is ideal for travel and those on the move.

For added versatility this kit includes the TH4 Tilt Head, which allows the user to alter the position of the camera horizontally while keeping the monopod leg in the upright position. The head is made of solid aluminum alloy and features an Arca-type quick release plate for rapid mounting and dismounting of your camera. The head is 3.6" in height, weighs just 1.1 lb, and can support up to 39.7 lb.

For added security, the Grand series features a three-layer mounting system which anchors the camera thread to an aluminum sleeve inside the carbon fiber tubing, which is protected by an external lock. This reinforced design provides even greater stability and security when mounting heavy cameras and lenses. Equipped with ergonomically designed half-turn twist locks, the monopod is quick to set up and break down. The locks are also designed to be dust- and moisture-resistant, ensuring reliability in tough environments. The reversible 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 stud allows for direct mounting of a camera or the mounting of most tripod and monopod heads. A wrist strap is included for added security and the integrated rubber foot assures a slip-free operation on virtually any surface.
