YC Onion Pineta Pro Overview

The Pineta Pro Carbon Fiber Monopod with Pedal Base from YC Onion is a monopod system with a single locking lever that allows all three leg segments and the tripod foot base to be extended, positioned, and locked in one action with the pro-style ergonomic brake lever as well as a lock button. The monopod extends to a maximum height of 63.8" with a load capacity of 22 lb, and folds to a compact 30.7" for easy storage or travel. An ARRI-style 1/4"-20 mounting thread on the side of the monopod allows for the attachment of additional accessories to meet your needs.

Quick Release Plate
A two-button release system ensures security while maintaining convenience when attaching or removing the plate to the monopod. A 2-in-1 screw allows you to switch between a 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting screw for compatibility with a wide variety of equipment. A set screw on the plate adds further security and reduces the chance of your gear shifting when mounted.
Pineta 2.0 Pedal Base
The pedal design of the base allows you to swivel or rotate a full 360°, while an adjustable rotating collar allows you to control the amount of resistance when panning or tilting the base. The adjustable feet can be configured into two angles for your desired height or folded up to reduce the footprint of the base. An included removable rubber foot attaches to the center of the base via a 3/8"-16 screw. When detached from the monopod, the base can also be used as a standalone tripod for tabletop or low-angle shooting.

YC Onion Pineta Pro Reviews

17-month review - still incredible

By Caleb
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-09-03

Some counterbalance to the recent 1-star reviews: I've found this monopod to be durable, stable, and incredibly useful after over a year of regular use. I'll never go back to a regular monopod after using a quick-adjust model like this.

Sturdy monopod with a design flaw

By Monica
Rated 1 out of 5
Date: 2026-01-21

We use multiple monopods and this is the most sturdy one we have, however there is a big design flaw they way legs open up, When you camera mounted and move around with monopod one or other legs go down and you have to bend down again to adjust these legs to flat, Legs won't be in locked position. This is very annoying when you have to move quick around with camera around. Other monopods which cost 1/2 of the cost have a locking mechanism which can hold legs and easy to move around. So my most expensive monopod is kind of useless now.

Is this can hold the weight of 600mm prime lens with Z9 body ?
Asked by: Khalid
The load capacity of the YC Onion Pineta Pro Carbon Fiber Monopod with Pedal Base is 22 lb. You will also want a tilt head or, at the very least, a clamp and a long Arca-style plate to help you balance the long lens over the center of the monopod.

Does this monopod work with the YC Onion CB7 Cedar

Does this monopod work with the YC Onion CB7 Cedar Head fluid head?
Asked by: Mark
The YC Onion Pineta Pro Carbon Fiber Monopod with Pedal Base and FH60 Fluid Head can be used with the YC Onion CB7 Cedar Fluid Head (Quick Release Version), BH #YCFHCB7P • MFR #FHCB7P. However, the CB7 Cedar head has a larger base (75mm) so it will overhang the 60mm top plate on the monopod.
