FLM CM 30-L5 Overview

The CM 30-L5 Carbon Fiber Monopod by FLM is a 5-section camera support that will help stabilize your camera when a tripod is not a viable option. Monopods offer portable and lightweight stabilization, making them ideal for photographing sports and nature, or in scenarios where you may use a lens that is too heavy to comfortably hold while shooting.

The CM 30-L5 supports 35.3 lb, opens up to a maximum height of 70.9", and folds down to a compact 21.3". The legs utilize twist locks which allow the monopod to be opened in one fluid motion and then quickly locked. Twist locks also prevent dirt and moisture from damaging the leg's internal parts and provide uniform pressure to prevent unwanted lock slipping. The rubber foot on the monopod can be removed to reveal a steel spike for use on gravel, ice, grass, or other loose terrain.

This monopod is also equipped with a comfortable foam hand grip to enhance ease-of-use and a hand strap to prevent the monopod from getting away from you at the wrong moment. The monopod includes a 3/8"-16 mounting stud to allow a monopod head or many other types of head to be mounted.

The monopod is a 5-star. Super lightweight and solid. The wrist strap should be a bit longer for my big hands. I'll replace the strap with a longer one of my making.

Love It! Tall and Collapses Down Small

Why is it so hard to find a quality monopod that's tall enough to use standing up, yet still packable? I wanted: carbon fiber with twist-locks, fits in a rollaboard case, tall enough to photograph above eye level (e.g. birds in flight) without adding a full gimbal head on top. This 5-section FLM checks all the boxes. (I'm 73 inches tall and happily use an Acratech GP ballhead in gimbal mode on this monopod. Like the Wimberley MonoGimbal head, the Acratech GP places the gimbal axis just slightly above the height of the monopod, not 9 inches above it like a typical gimbal head. )
