The MPMXPROA4US XPRO Monopod+ from Manfrotto is a versatile aluminum support designed for use with DSLR, mirrorless, compact, and video cameras.

A handy tool for nearly any visual artist, professional, or content creator, a monopod can often travel places tripods cannot, providing additional stability and supporting heavy equipment when required. The MPMXPROA4US features a 4-section design which, when paired with its aluminum construction, results in an easy-to-transport design weighing just 1.65 lb. With a maximum height of 70.9" and a minimum height of just 22", the MPMXPROA4US can be adjusted to suit users of varying heights and for various different tasks.

While the design of a monopod is relatively simple the Manfrotto Monopod+ line utilizes some innovative features which make using the MPMXPROA4US fast and easy. The primary feature of the line is the inclusion of Manfrotto's patented Power-Lock flip locks which snap open and closed to ensure fast operation and a tight, unyielding lock. The D-shaped leg sections have been designed not only to compliment the Power-Locks but also to prevent unwanted twisting between leg sections and increase the stability of the monopod.

Additionally, the Monopod+ line also features Manfrotto's standard rubber leg warmer for an improved grip and an adjustable hand strap for extra security. A 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting thread is placed at the top of the monopod in the center of the baseplate, allowing users to either, direct mount a camera or lens, or use an articulating head if required.

Q: 4. How do you remove the QRP to mount the MVH500AH video head?

A: Manfrotto uses locking screws, also called grub screws, to keep whatever you attach from turning loose. When you want to remove a head, or in this case a quick release assembly, you must look underneath the round mounting plate that the QR assembly is attached to and find those recessed screws. With appropriate sized screwdriver you back those screws off a couple turns and then unscrew the assembly or head. Once you've screwed the 500AH head on go back to the screws and screw them in to secure the just mounted head.

Q: 5. Can one remove the base legs and use as a single leg monopod?

A: The fluid base offers the additional capability of smooth movements during video shooting, it may also help in tracking moving subjects for bursts of high frame rate still shots as well.

Q: 8. Does this Monopod stand by itself with a camera on it?

A: Short answer: no. If you want to be able to set up a camera and leave it, get a small tripod. A monopod's main function is to offer a third point of stabilization for the operator. I've used this monopod with small mirrorless stills cameras up to large RED DSMC setups. It's one of my favorite monopods - super sturdy and the locking foot is an excellent added bonus for both stability and making camera moves. But I would NEVER leave a camera unattended. Expertly balanced and with a small camera body, yes, it can stand on its own in a still room on an even surface, but just as other responders have said - even the gentlest of breezes, or really even a sneeze, could prove disastrous.
