The SBM-001 Stabilizing Base for Monopods from Robus screws into most monopods with a 3/8"-16 threaded socket and offers enhanced stability while shooting with a monopod. The three folding legs open and lock into place when it's time to shoot, then conveniently fold up along the monopod for easy transport. Nonslip rubber feet provide extra traction on slick surfaces like gym floors or pool decks. The integrated ball joint allows the camera to be swiveled and tilted without losing the advantage of the monopod's stability. The ball joint lock prevents the monopod from tilting under a heavy load for greater control and can lock to a fixed position for extra control and stability. The ball joint's friction control allows the base's flexibility to be adjusted to suit the weight of the camera and lens combination. The legs unlock with the push of a button for rapid deployment, then fold up along the monopod, adding only minimal length to the rig. When removed from the monopod, these lightweight legs fold up to a compact 6.3", so they'll easily fit into a gear bag, back pack, or even a jacket pocket.

Robus SBM-001 Reviews
Nice Stabilizer For A Monopod
By Micheal
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-12-07
Really Handy To Help Stabilize The Monopod. I Use A Monopod When Out Photographing Wildlife. I Use A Ball Device To Rest The Camera On The Monopod. It Is Not Attached To It. Sometimes It’s Better Not To Be Attached As When A Bird Is Flying By And You Need To Hand Hold Your Camera To Catch The Action. I Do Use A Shoulder Strap So The Camera Is Secured. The Stabilizer Allows The Monopod To Remain Standing Instead Of Falling To The Ground And Makes It Easy To Rest The Camera On It Again. My Only Dislike Is That It’s A Bit Heavy On The End Of The Stick. My Monopod Is Carbon Fiber. The Legs Of Course Are Metal For Strength. It’s A Trade Off But I Still Like It.

Excellent product. I wish there was some mechanism to lock the screw to monopod. Sometime in the field when I try to twist the tripod , it loosens up the base form monopod.

Will this works with the Manfrotto Element MII Aluminum Monopod?
The Manfrotto Element MII Aluminum Monopod (Black), B&H # MAMMELMIIA5B, base cannot be removed, so the Robus SBM-001 Stabilizing Base for Monopods cannot be mounted to the monopod.

What compound can be safely used to lock the male ...
What compound can be safely used to lock the male threads of the three legged base (they're metal) to the female threads of a Robus monopod (they're plastic)? Thanks to the community for your help!
The manufacturer does not list a recommendation for a compound to lock the threads of the Robus SBM-001 Stabilizing Base for Monopods. While not an item carried/recommended by B&H, a compound that is designed for use with metal and plastic such as the Loctite 42540 Blue 425 Assure Plastic Fastener Threadlocker may work for your stated usage needs.
