The Sunpak Ultra 4STM Tri-Monopod combines the best features of a full-size tripod and a full-size monopod in a single package that includes a compact pistol-grip ball head with a quick-release plate. The center column of the tripod doubles as a removable five-section monopod for a flexible, all-in-one camera support solution.
The lightweight (4 lb) Tri-Monopod supports loads up to 11 lb, so you can mount any of today's DSLR models with even the longest and heaviest of lenses. The head's pistol grip facilitates an extremely quick and easy way to set your shooting angle: just squeeze the trigger, position, and release, and the camera's position is locked. The included quick-release plate enables fast camera mounting and allows you to switch to handheld shooting in seconds.
The four-section aluminum legs feature a center brace for added stability. The magnesium chassis includes a bubble level so you can be sure your shot hews to the horizon. The maximum height of the tripod is 61.25", while the monopod features a maximum extension of 59.5" when removed from the tripod chassis.
