The Virtual Reality Aluminum Base from Manfrotto is a compact, lightweight, and portable support that has a load capacity of 8.8 lb and it is compatible with VR extension booms and supports VR cameras. With two variable leg angles of 23° and 51°, you can spread the legs and stabilize a VR camera on uneven terrain, and the support's rubber feet prevent the 1-section legs from sliding or slipping on smooth surfaces. In addition, the base has a maximum height of 16.1" and a minimum height of 8.3", so your VR camera can get closer to the ground. The tripod weighs 1.3 lb and afterwards, when the aluminum base is not in use, the support folds down to 11.8" for storage and transport.

Q: 1. why are the specs for the aluminum and carbon manfrotto 290 exactly the same?

A: Hi, the carbon fiber version is actually very slightly lighter and has a very slightly smaller diameter: the actual weight of the aluminum version is 1.19 lbs. and the weight of the carbon fiber version is 1.1 lbs.. The diameter of the carbon fiber version is less than .5" smaller than the diameter of the aluminum version. The differences were lost in rounding the measurements in our description.

Q: 2. Hi, is this compatible with manfrotto MMXPROA3 (A4890056) Bought in Canada? Thanks

A: Sorry, Manfrotto does not list the Manfrotto XPRO Fluid Base as an accessory for this monopod.

Q: 3. What's the difference between this base and the Manfrotto MVA50A Fluid Base? I'm going to use it with my XPRO Monopod.

A: if you have an XPRO monopod, get the XPRO base. it screws in and was designed for the XPRO series. the older base attached differently. also, this base can lock perpendicular, which the older one couldn't do.

Q: 4. What is the inside diameter of the top where the 1/4-20 screw thread is located? I want to adapt it to a different brand of monopod.

Q: 6. Whats the difference between this new fluid base and the older monopod FDS Fluid Drag system?

A: It is a smoother pan and has a lock.

Q: 7. whats the weight load max for poles and clips?

A: I have not tested the maximum weight the super clamp can support but it definitely will hold a strobe head with a softbox in place firmly. It will easily hold in place a backdrop bar with heavy weight muslin on it. That's as much weight as I have put on one. Hope this helps.

Q: 8. If I attached a head (any compatible head), would this base allow for smooth panning?

A: There is no designed way to attach a head directly to this monopod base.

Q: 9. Is this compatible with the monopod leg of Manfrotto Element Big Travel Tripod?
