The Velbon RUP-40 is a 4-section monopod and replaces the UP-40. It has been improved and offers a better design.
The monopod is ideal for when a tripod is to heavy or slow to operate. Correctly handled, the monopod supplies all the camera support you are likely to need even for long lenses.
The RUP Series has a larger flat faced leg tip.
The third and fourth leg section are now bigger than before.
Double grooved leg for easier operation.
The RUP Series feature a foam hand grip and include a braided nylon wrist strap.
